Trinity Health IHA Medical Group, Primary Care - Howell

Family medicine is comprehensive health care for your entire family - from newborns to your most senior members. All Trinity Health IHA Medical Group physicians are board-certified or board-eligible in family medicine. Our family medicine physicians deliver a wide range of acute, chronic and preventive medical care while providing you with a patient-centered medical home (PCMH). PCMH patients and their families (when appropriate) establish a partnership with their practitioners to ensure they have the support and education needed to make decisions and participate in their health care.

Primary care is general health care. It is a patient's first point of contact for their health and wellness needs. Patients develop lifelong partnerships with their primary care provider (PCP). Your PCP takes ongoing responsibility for providing and managing your comprehensive health care.

Trinity Health IHA Medical Group ambulatory care clinical pharmacist services work with primary care providers as a part of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH). Through in-office and telephone appointments, they can help patients achieve optimal control of chronic conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Clinical pharmacists provide comprehensive medication review services including, adjusting current medications to ensure maximum safety and efficacy, ongoing monitoring and disease state education. They also work with patients to set dietary and lifestyle goals to improve the management of various conditions.

Pediatrics is a specialty concerned with the physical, mental and social health of children from birth to young adulthood. Pediatric care encompasses a broad spectrum of health services ranging from preventive health care to the diagnosis and treatment of acute or chronic diseases. A pediatrician can accurately determine the child’s health status and serve as a consultant and make use of other specialists when needed. Because the child’s welfare is very dependent on the home and family, the pediatrician supports efforts to create a nurturing environment. Such support includes education about healthful living and anticipatory guidance for both patients and parents. Newborn? Toddler? Teenager? Your kids are well-covered. From your very first visit, you'll notice that our pediatric services are some of the most advanced and up-to-date in all of Michigan.

With a focus on preventive health and overall well-being, our internal medicine physicians and staff specialize in primary care for adults and patients with acute and chronic multi-system diseases.
