Specializing in Full-Service Family Medicine

Medical care is much more than charts and billings. It’s about accessibility, availability and convenience for our patients. It’s an old-fashioned idea about nurturing the relationship between you and your doctor. Our dramatic growth tells us we’re not the only ones who like this idea. Your Family Medicine doctor is the physician you’ll likely have the most contact with. Naturally, you’ll want to see them about nasty winter colds, annual exams, or bumps and bruises. But you’ll also want to talk to them about depression, a curious breast lump or trouble with your hearing. As a Health Center patient, you also have access to the many skilled specialty practitioners and services at Lewis County General Hospital. Our Family Medicine physicians are a great point of access to other healthcare specialties both through Lewis County General Hospital and other providers. Our primary concern is getting you the best care possible by accessing your needs, treating your ailments or referring you to a qualified specialist. We believe strongly that this can still be done in the old fashioned, caring way by encouraging a strong relationship with your family physician. We promise you that we will do our best to listen to you, care for you, and bring you quality medicine in the same home town way you have grown accustomed to over the years. We thank you for the trust you have placed in us.

• Existing oxygen patient? Don’t worry - iFill can be used with any manufacturer’s concentrator...even yours.

• Connectors on the cylinder and iFill unit simply click into place. Control panel lights indicate when the cylinder is filling and when the cylinder is full.

• An M6 iFill cylinder can be filled in just a little over an hour - not the two hours it can take with other in-home oxygen filling units. Shorter fill times save energy costs.

• iFill can be placed and used virtually anywhere in the home - minimizing the noise and disruption to daily life.

The DeVibliss iFill Oxygen Station represents the latest in portable oxygen convenience, providing unmatched flexibility and ease of use. The iFill unit extracts purified oxygen

from room air using standard oxygen concentrator technology!

Steps to Becoming a Wiser Health Care Consumer (WMS)- Is the quality of your health care as good as it could be? According to the U.S. Department o f Health and Human Services’ Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), millions of Americans receive high-quality health care, yet there are times when something goes wrong. The fact is, health-care quality varies and depends on many things, such as where you live, who you are, and how much is known about treating your condition. Despite these findings, there are steps you can take to improve the quality of your own health care. The more involved you are in your own health care, t he better results you will get. Here’s what you can do to get the most from your health care. 1. Become an active member of your health-care team. Know your doctors. Developing positive relationships with your health-care providers and becoming a full partner in making decisions about your care can help with proper diagnosis and treatment. 2. Ask questions at every doctor’s visit. All patients deserve thorough and clear explanations and information about their condition. Pay attention to the care you receive. If something doesn’t make sense to you or if you have concerns, speak up. Ask for clarification or for additional information on the to pic. Some areas to pay close attention to include: a) Diagnosis - Ask your doctor to write down your diagnosis and explain how he or she determined it. b) Testing - Ask what additional tests you may need, what they are for, what they are measuring and why, and what they will cost. How will the results affect your condition, medications and future testing? When you receive the test results, ask for an explanation or interpretation of what the letters or number s stand for. Be aware of routine medical tests and how often you need them. Make sure you are getting these tests as needed. c) Treatment options - Ask about all your options. It is likely there is more than one way to manage or treat the condition. What are the benefits, risks and side effects of treatment? How long will you need to continue this treatment, and how will you know if the treatment is working? What will these treatmen ts cost you? d) Medications - Before getting any new prescription filled, make sure your doctors know about every thing you are taking, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines and dietary supplements. That way, they can advise you about any possible drug interactions or side effects you may experience. (They m ay even recommend an entirely different drug.) You should ask what your prescribed medications are, wha t they do, and what their side effects are. When you get prescriptions filled, make sure you understan d what you are taking and why you are taking it. 3. Create a health journal. This is a handy way to record your questions, keep records of your medic al history, such as test dates and results, medications you are taking and their doses, dates of doctor visits, immunizations you have received, and any allergies you may have. You can take the journal with you t o every doctor’s appointment to avoid unnecessary calls and repeat visits. 4. Educate yourself about health-related issues. If you have Internet access, take advantage of the multitude of health information Web sites available. However, be cautious, because not all sites provide the m ost accurate information. Generally, the most reliable sites are those that are sponsored by the government or by universities. If you don’t have access to the Internet, visit your local library or bookstore. Learning as much as you can about your disease or condition, or your health in general, may improve the success of your treatment and help you make more informed decisions. 5. Choose doctors and hospitals wisely and seek expert advice when needed. The AHRQ advises health care consumers to look for a doctor who: has received high ratings for quality of care; has the training and experience to meet your needs; takes steps to prevent illness (i.e., will talk to you about getting the screening tests that are right for you); can get you admitted to or treat you at the hospital of your choice; is part of your health plan (unless you are willing to pay extra); and will work with you to make decisions about your health care. 7. Understand your health insurance plan. Know what is covered and what is not covered.
