"Serving the community by serving people”" is more than a slogan. At FamilyWise Healthcare you and your family will meet qualified, experienced healthcare providers who truly care about you and your family and are dedicated to serving the community in which they live and work. Our providers not only expertly treat acute/chronic illnesses and injuries; they are also strong advocates of preventive healthcare and are dedicated to helping keep you and your family healthy.
Ensuring completion of regular routine physical examinations and appropriate immunizations for all family members helps maintain wellness and identifies potential health problems to allow early intervention before serious complications occur. Using aggressive screening measures and sophisticated testing through Berkeley HeartLab, Boston Heart Lab, etc., FamilyWise providers evaluate patients for metabolic defects and genetic markers that may predispose them to certain chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. Performance of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) testing can identify individuals at risk for stroke and heart attack. Utilizing screening results, our providers guide patients in developing a customized health maintenance program including a proper diet, appropriate exercise, nutritional supplements and medications (when necessary) to address identified abnormalities and health risks.
At FamilyWise you’ll find innovative technology to support the coordination and delivery of high quality healthcare. FamilyWise uses Medical GroupWare, an on-line patient communication tool which allows you to make appointments from the convenience of your computer and keep your medical history up to date, without confronting that dreaded clipboard full of forms each time you visit your provider. This tool allows convenient, timely communication with our offices for requesting medication refills, obtaining feedback about diagnostic tests, or making payments on your account. Utilizing a sophisticated electronic medical record (EMR) system all your health information is maintained in a highly secure, legible file that is readily accessible from either FamilyWise location and easily shared with other medical consultants when necessary. Our website at www.familywisehealth.com provides a quick and easy way to access our services. At FamilyWise technology does not substitute for people, it just helps us provide better care for you and your family.
