Integrated Care
At Summit Community Care Clinic, we believe that patients are best served when health care providers treat the whole person - not just a single symptom or condition. Therefore, we practice using an "integrated" care model, combining services for both physical and emotional symptoms in one visit, under one roof. Simply put, the integrated care model recognizes that stress and other psychological problems can affect one's health, and in turn, physical ailments can impact one's mental well-being. Treating both together makes a successful outcome for the patient much more likely.
Helping Those with Acute Illness, Chronic Disease, and Injuries
Appointments for acute illnesses or injuries can generally be scheduled within 24 hours and are available to patients with a current Care Card. Patients with chronic conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension, are offered a variety of services, including group and individual appointments, educational workshops, and nutritional and behavioral counseling. Our chronic disease management program focuses on giving patients the tools to understand and monitor their own condition so that they can lead a healthy and productive life. Well child and well adult checks are available to patients who need a general check up or who have questions related to their health. We also can provide Sports physicals for students and Day Care Provider physicals.
