Family Medicine: The Center of Primary Care
Unlike other specialties that are limited to a particular organ or disease, family physicians are the only specialists qualified to treat most ailments and provide comprehensive health care for people of all ages — from newborns to seniors. This looks like:
-
Caring for patients regardless of age or health condition, sustaining an enduring and trusting relationship
-
Understanding community-level factors and social determinants of health
-
Serving as a patient's first contact for health concerns
-
Navigating the health care system with patients, including specialist and hospital care coordination and follow-up
-
Using data and technology to coordinate services and enhance care
-
Considering the impact of health on a patient’s family
Why Family Medicine?
Dr Walid Galal explains that family medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on providing comprehensive care for people of all ages. It is a medical specialty that is focused on the health of a person and their family as a whole. Family medicine physicians are specially trained to provide preventive care, diagnose and treat illnesses, and coordinate care for chronic conditions. Our Family Medicine is committed to providing comprehensive care for the entire family in a personalized and caring environment. We strive to create a strong partnership between our family doctors and our patients so that they can experience the best care possible.
