It Takes a Village: The Power of Family Medicine

In today’s fast-paced world, our health can often take a back seat in our busy schedules. We’ve all heard the saying, “It takes a village to raise a child” — and the same applies to managing our health. Finding a supportive network of providers, including family, friends, and other trusted individuals, is essential for maintaining our health and wellness.

The Role of Family Medicine

A family medicine provider serves as the cornerstone of your healthcare “village.” These professionals offer personalized care across all ages and stages of life. They are your health advocate and guide, ensuring your physical and mental well-being are addressed at each stage of life.

Cameron’s Family Medicine physicians are board-certified and able to provide ongoing, personalized care to children, adolescents, adults and seniors. We treat individuals and entire families, taking the time to truly get to know their patients to provide a lifetime of care that is backed by the full resources of Cameron Hospital.

Here’s why having a family medicine provider is so important:

1. Continuation of Care: Your family medicine provider gets to know you, your health history, and your lifestyle over time. This continuity allows them to provide more personalized care and recognize early signs of potential health concerns.
2. Preventive Focus: Regular check-ups, screenings, and immunizations are central to family medicine. Your provider helps you stay ahead of illnesses.
3. Comprehensive Care for All Ages: Family medicine providers are trained to care for the entire family. Their expertise fosters a deeper understanding of your family’s health dynamics and hereditary conditions.

Life comes with unexpected health challenges. Having a provider you trust and who understands your needs means you have a partner that can provide guidance and reassurance when you need it most.

In addition to in-office visits at our Angola and Fremont locations, Cameron Family Medicine also offers telehealth visits for our primary care patients. Virtual visits are a popular choice for patients who may not have the time or ability to travel to our offices, or for individuals who simply wish to speak with their healthcare provider from the comfort of their own homes.
