Comprehensive Range of Health Conditions We Treat
FAMILY PRACTICE
Family Practice is the work of a doctor who provides primary healthcare to members of the local community according to Oxford Dictionary. We couldn’t agree more at SWLPHC!
Our Family medicine doctors can treat and monitor various chronic diseases and conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), kidney disease, heart disease, high cholesterol, arthritis, skin problems, and breathing issues caused by conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to name a few.
ONSITE LABORATORY
Our onsite laboratory is certified to perform a wide variety of testing. With on-site lab work, we speed up the turnaround time for your lab tests or care development because of the dedicated lab staff on-site. Your product samples can be taken directly from production to the lab for quick testing saving you time and headaches when visiting your healthcare provider.
CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT
According to HealthCare.Gov, Chronic Disease Management is an integrated care approach to managing illness. This is also a comprehensive approach which includes screenings, check-ups, monitoring and coordinating treatment, and patient education.
We at SWLPHC don’t want you to do it alone; we want to be a part of your journey towards better health and wellness!

Nutritional education teaches the science of nutrition and we health professionals play an important and different role in educating an individual in the clinic, community, or long-term health-care facility. We don’t take these responsibilities lightly and we consider it a privilege to be your provider of choice for co-partnering with you on your wellness plans. Our goal is to provide you with a set of learning experiences designed to facilitate your voluntary adoption of eating and other nutrition-related behaviors conducive to health and well-being.
KID MED / IMMUNIZATIONS

What do we mean by “Patient-centered” Care?
Patient-centered care focuses on the patient and the individual’s particular health care needs. Among many benefits, patient-centered care is associated with a higher rate of patient satisfaction, the patient’s adherence to suggested lifestyle changes and prescribed treatment, better outcomes and more cost-effective care.
