What is family medicine?

Family medicine is an area of medical care that diagnoses and treats a wide range of health conditions for people of all ages. Family medicine physicians are primary care providers, serving as your first point of contact when you need medical care.

Both internal medicine and family medicine have primary care providers for adults. However, a MIG family medicine provider has additional training to care for patients of all ages, from newborns to older adults.

What can I expect from family medicine care?

Your MIG family medicine provider focuses on cultivating long-lasting relationships with you and your entire family. You can expect patient-centered, high-quality care from your MIG family medicine provider.

Family medicine not only manages your general health needs, offering comprehensive wellness exams for the entire family, but also diagnoses and treats acute and chronic health conditions.

Your MIG family medicine provider wants to prevent disease and promote health. Whatever health problem you or your family face, your MIG family medicine provider can help. 

What are the family medicine services?

MIG family medicine providers offer a number of services to promote health and prevent disease. These services include:

Vaccinations

Vaccinations protect you and your family from contagious diseases, potentially preventing you from getting sick.

MIG family medicine providers offer vaccinations for infants, children, teens, and adults. They follow the vaccination guidelines provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which include the types of vaccines needed and at what ages to give them.

Pediatrics

Your MIG family medicine provider has additional training in pediatric care. That means you and your child can see the same provider. 

Pediatrics is a specialized area of medical care that monitors the growth and development of infants, children, and teens. 

In addition to general health, your MIG family medicine provider manages acute and chronic health conditions, such as ear infections or asthma.

Wellness visits

Your MIG family medicine provider recommends you come in once a year for an annual physical exam. This comprehensive exam allows your MIG provider to assess your current health and risk of future health problems. 

Sick visits

Your MIG family medicine provider cares for acute and chronic illnesses.
