Our healthcare facility provides primary and comprehensive care for patients that include women, men and young adults in a metro area that has a population of over 200,000 people. We also have expanded our practice to offer specialized care in Obstetrics and Gynecological services.
We have multiple locations in the area in order to provide services and to make it convenient for those that are less fortunate and may not have transportation and has to rely on public transportation. Our practice was formed on the basis that our citizen’s healthcare was not being met sufficiently in such a highly populated area. Our mission is to help patients make informed healthcare decisions when faced with any healthcare diagnosis which may include preventative care, positive test of cancer and all Obstetrics and Gynecological matters by providing the best care in technical and scientific expertise. Our practice was built in a small two person practice in 1992 that consisted of our Doctor and his wife in the commitment to provide quality healthcare service to women who needed personal service with the best bed side manner when delivering their babies. In the last 10 years our practice has multiple locations that provides primary care through our clinic that houses the most qualified doctors and nurses who are committed to our patients.
Our preventative care clinic is a husband and wife team that relies heavily on their daughter who manages and maintains this office effectively. We are extremely proud of this clinic since we have a high performance team that prides themselves by providing our patients with the most comprehensive preventative care in our area.
We have maintained our original setting and now have added several qualified professionals to help maintain our clientele with their maintenance

    The reason this student chose the family care clinic attached to the main hospital is due to the recent change in positions the student has made to the Family Medicine Residency Program. The knowledge this student is learning about the process for moving a family medicine clinic has lent a new appreciation for the process involved in only one small aspect of the entire planning, building, and moving process. The new floor plan that is at St. Anthony North Hospital is the inspiration for this student’s floor plan. This floor plan is part of the hospital yet functions as a separate office area from the hospital. This student’s thought behind an attached family medicine clinic to the hospital is that the hospital will be able to utilize the clinic as an urgent care option instead of overwhelming the emergency department with non-emergent patients. The clinic supports the hospital and the hospital supports the clinic with the cross flow of patients between departments.…

A physician shortage is a situation in which there are not enough providers to treat all patients in need of medical care.

    The population within the United States is growing every year. Not in the sense of the overall population but instead focused solely on the older demographic, specifically those 65 years and older.
