Family & Community Medicine

Family & Community Medicine is a medical specialty focused on providing comprehensive healthcare for people of all ages, from infants to seniors. It emphasizes ongoing, personal care, addressing a wide range of health issues, and preventing illness. Family physicians consider the physical, emotional, and social aspects of health, often serving as the first point of contact in the healthcare system. They build long-term relationships with patients, helping manage chronic conditions, coordinate specialty care, and promote healthy living within the context of the patient’s community. The goal is to improve overall health and well-being for individuals and their communities.
