Primary care provides comprehensive care for those of all ages, and the
first place where people go when they need health advice or treatment.
Our family medicine physicians provide comprehensive and continuing care
for children, adults and seniors, focusing on preventive medicine for
a wide range of conditions and diseases. Should you need specialized care,
your primary care provider can refer you to a trusted specialist and help
coordinate any additional care that you may need.
Your relationship with your primary care provider is an important one that
can span decades – from pediatrics and well-child visits to geriatric
care in your golden years. Your primary care provider, or PCP, is the
doctor you will visit for most medical needs, including routine screenings and
annual check-ups, non-emergent illnesses, such as ear infections and viruses, management
of chronic illness and mental health needs. Many family medicine providers
can also provide prenatal care for growing families, helping expectant
moms through delivery and beyond.
Treatment for Acute and Chronic Illness, Injuries and Behavioral Health
Altru’s family medicine services include a variety of treatment avenues
for many health concerns.

care you may need, from treating
sleep disorders to recommending a
tobacco cessation program and more.

Immunizations are an important part of both your family’s and your community’s
health. Altru’s family medicine providers can administer vaccinations
and help you keep track of which ones you or your loved one need, as well
as when and why the vaccinations are necessary.
When you need to schedule your child’s physical for the upcoming
school year, Altru has you covered.
A
sports physical is intended to ensure your child is in optimal shape to participate in
physical activity. A provider will ask about your child’s personal
and family medical history, check things such as height, weight, blood
pressure and lung function, and determine range of motion and strength.
Annual Physicals
An annual exam allows your family medicine provider to see the bigger picture
of your overall health and well-being. During an annual physical, a primary
care provider may check your vitals, listen to your heart and lungs, and
discuss any concerns you may have about your health.
