Family Medicine

What is the role of preventive medicine within family medicine?

Family medicine practitioners are trained to address the health needs of people across all phases of life. At New Day New Horizon, Jackie works with patients ranging from age 17 through retirement and beyond. 

Preventive care is the foundation of family medicine. This approach focuses on routine health assessments that create a clear picture of your current state of health. This allows Jackie to create a customized care plan to help you improve any areas of concern and maintain your existing strengths. 

Routine checkups are important. Don’t wait until you experience symptoms to see a family medicine practitioner. Screenings check for signs of common health problems, and routine lab work provides an overview of your health and helps Jackie track changes over time. 

How can family medicine help if I’m sick or injured?

Family medicine also includes acute care, helping you and your loved ones find relief when you’re injured or ill. Sick visits are readily available and focus on quickly reaching an accurate diagnosis and getting you started on a fast path toward relief. 

There’s no need to suffer through an illness or minor injury when Jackie is standing by to deliver top-quality care. You should never hesitate to reach out to New Day New Horizon by phone to see if a same-day sick visit is an option. 

Family medicine also offers chronic disease management. If you have issues like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, or asthma, Jackie can design a personalized care plan to minimize symptoms and reduce your risk of negative outcomes associated with chronic disease. 

When is the right time to begin working with a family medicine provider?

There’s no wrong time to begin working with Jackie and her team at New Day New Horizon. Ideally, you’ll come in for routine preventive health services, which allows you to build a trusting bond with Jackie before you encounter an immediate health need. 

Everyone should have a trusted and highly skilled primary care provider throughout all phases of life. If you or your loved ones are searching for the highest standards of care, set aside some time to meet Jackie. You can set up a visit online or over the phone in moments.
