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!

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.
