Patient Services

Health Services is an integrated system of health centers, community clinics and hospitals that offer you and your loved ones the care you need to stay well. This includes primary care, like check-ups and immunizations, as well as the specialty care you need to treat a serious illness or a chronic disease. Specialty services can be provided in a clinic or hospital setting. Our goal is to be your medical home, a place where you have a team of health professionals who help guide you to the right care at the right place at the right time.

What services can I get at Health Services?

Health Services offers primary care services, such as basic or general health care traditionally provided by doctors trained in family practice, pediatric, internal medicine and gynecology. Health Services also provides specialty care services, which is specialized health care provided by physicians whose training is focused primarily in a specific field, such as neurology, cardiology, rheumatology, dermatology, oncology, orthopedics, ophthalmology and other specialized fields.

Health Services offers a wide array of services in its different facilities. Some sites offer just primary care, and others offer a mix of primary and specialty care. The best place to start is to visit a Health Services clinic near you and select it as your medical home if it meets your needs. When you choose a medical home, you will always go to that clinic and see the same team of health professionals when you need care. They will have your medical records and help you get the care you need. Whether you go to the hospital or to the specialist, all of your care is coordinated through your medical home.
