What is Preserve Health?
 
 

Preserve Health is a family medical practice that focuses on providing continuing and comprehensive medical care to all family members, not limited by age, gender, organ system or type of problem, whether it is biological, behavioral or social.  Preserve Health is staffed by family physicians and nurse practitioners that are supported by an experienced staff.  This team of providers will often be the first contact in health-related situations.  As the initial provider, Preserve Health is in a unique position to form a bond with the patient and is ready to serve as their medical home.  Our providers utilize knowledge of the patient in the context of the family and the community, and this care emphasizes disease prevention and health promotion.

 

Preserve Health providers can effectively address the vast majority of your healthcare needs and can diagnose and treat 90% of all medical problems.  We will continue to provide communication and care when patients are referred outside of Preserve Health for specialty services.  Preserve Health maintains a close consulting relationship with other physicians in the local community and the surrounding region for those problems requiring the care of another specialty.

 

Preserve health plays an important role as a cost-effective coordinator of the patient’s health services.  We strive to provide the best options for care that are cost-efficient without sacrificing quality.

 

The physicians of Preserve Health are board certified by the American Board of Family Medicine.  They have trained for at least three additional years after completing medical school, with their training focusing on the areas of internal medicine, geriatrics, pediatrics, gynecology, surgery and psychiatry.  In addition, they have had decades of experience in the treatment and prevention of illness while promoting health and wellness.

 

The nurse practitioners are board certified through the American Nurses Credentialing Center.  They have completed a Masters of Science degree in nursing along with extensive training with highly qualified family physicians.  They maintain credentialing with annual continuing education, including pharmacology to maintain prescriptive privileges.

 

Preserve Health enthusiastically promotes preventive care.  The providers seek to motivate individuals toward healthier lifestyles by providing education and goal-setting in partnership with patients.  Our care is grounded in evidence-based research that has proved to be beneficial in producing healthy behaviors.
