Internal medicine focuses on care of the adult patient, specifically screening for disease and managing chronic conditions either alone or in partnership with a specialist.
Our approach
The internal medicine department at MHFV utilizes a comprehensive and team-based approach to adult health care. We partner with specialists and allied health professionals in managing more difficult to control chronic diseases. Because of our close working relationships, we often coordinate the care between these various individuals. Furthermore, we assist in managing transitions of care when the need arises, such as a move into senior housing and partnering in end of life discussions and decision-making.
