Sutter Medical Foundation Family Medicine

A family doctor provides primary care services through every life stage. Seeing one provider for preventive care, vaccines, screenings, physical exams and sickness helps with continuity and efficiency. Your doctor will get to know you and your family members individually so you can establish relationships. Family doctors have the knowledge and skills to treat and provide guidance on pediatric wellness, women’s health issues, ongoing and chronic conditions and more.

Prevention and Health Maintenance Research

Each year, millions of people die preventable deaths by following behaviors that are detrimental to their health and exposing themselves to risk. Preventive healthcare (or preventive medicine) looks at the factors that keep people from following measures that could prevent problems and ways to encourage better health maintenance. These factors can include a person's environment, genetic predisposition, disease agents and lifestyle choices that put individuals at greater risk for disease.
