Family Medicine at Atrium Health
What is family medicine?
Family medicine providers offer primary care for the whole family. They see patients of all ages and have the expertise to help you get healthy, stay healthy and prevent diseases down the road. And by caring for you at every age and every stage of life, they get to know you well so they can keep you well.
What are the core services provided by family medicine?
Family medicine providers care for everyone from newborns to older adults. They care for a wide range of health issues including injuries, illnesses and chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
Family medicine providers will see you and your family members for both routine checkups and physical exams for school or sports. They prescribe medications and recommend immunizations, such as flu shots, to protect against common illnesses.
