FAMILY MEDICINE
What is Family Medicine?
Family medicine is a medical specialty that provides comprehensive healthcare to individuals of all ages, genders, and across various medical conditions. Family medicine practitioners, known as family physicians or general practitioners, are trained to address a wide range of health concerns, from routine check-ups and preventive care to the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic illnesses. They emphasize building long-term relationships with patients and often serve as the primary point of contact for healthcare needs within a family. Family medicine practitioners focus on promoting overall health and well-being, considering the physical, emotional, and social aspects of a patient's health.
