Primary Care
Your Health Starts with Primary Care
Choosing a primary care provider is one of the most important decisions you can make for your long-term health. A primary care provider gets to know you, understands your health history, helps prevent illness, manages chronic conditions, and coordinates your care when you need specialty services.
At Washington Health Medical Group, our Family Medicine and Internal Medicine providers are committed to building lasting relationships with patients and delivering personalized, comprehensive care. While both specialties provide exceptional primary care, there are important differences that can help you determine which is the best fit for your needs.
Family Medicine
Comprehensive Care for Every Stage of Life
Family medicine physicians care for patients of all ages—from newborns and children to teens, adults, and seniors. They are trained to provide a broad range of preventive, acute, and ongoing medical care while caring for the health needs of the entire family.
Family Medicine may be the right choice if you are looking for:
- A provider who can care for children and adults
- Preventive care and annual wellness visits
- Well-child exams and immunizations
- School, sports, and work physicals
- Management of common illnesses and injuries
- Care for chronic medical conditions
- A provider who can care for multiple members of your family
Internal Medicine
Expert Adult Primary Care
Internal medicine physicians, also known as internists, specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting adults. They are experts in managing both routine health concerns and more complex medical conditions.
Internal Medicine may be the right choice if you:
- Are 18 years of age or older
- Have one or more chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart
- disease, or high cholesterol
- Need ongoing management of multiple health concerns
- Prefer a provider whose practice focuses exclusively on adult medicine
- Want a physician experienced in coordinating care with medical specialists
Internists are particularly skilled at caring for adults with complex medical needs while emphasizing prevention and long-term wellness.
