What Is Family Medicine?

Family medicine is a generalized field of medicine that covers most everyday ailments that an average patient might experience over their lives.

This can include things like the common cold, sprains, vaccinations, mild skin conditions, gastrointestinal upsets, sexually transmitted infections, blood tests, and muscle pains.

Many people will have the same family health professional for much of their lives. Our Manistique patient centered medical home also includes an expert team of nurses and specialists to ensure we are able to provide the highest level of care for all your medical needs.

What Does A Family Health Professional Do?

Family medicine is a medical specialty just like cardiology or surgery, and requires extensive training to be able to practice.

Family Health Professionals will typically perform regular medical check ups, administer required vaccinations, treat common medical conditions such as the flu or stomach bugs, prescribe common medicines, answer any medical questions patients might have, and refer patients to other specialists should they require more detailed assistance with a niche medical concerns. Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital is proud to employee several highly qualified Family Medicine practitioners on staff with a wide range of experience and skill sets to cover every aspect of your family’s health requirements.

Who Needs Family Medicine?

Generally speaking, everyone should have a personal family provider to assist them with common medical issues throughout their lives.

In particular, children and the elderly should ensure they are meeting with their family Provider regularly to monitor their overall health with respect to their age brackets. This can include developmental and vaccinations for younger patients, and changing dietary requirements and arthritis management for seniors.

Most normal medical issues should be first dealt with at our Manistique family medicine clinic.
