A primary care doctor treats all the adult members in your family, and they are knowledgeable about a wide variety of medical concerns. Besides giving you immunizations and routine screenings (like blood pressure, weight, cholesterol, blood sugar), they can help you manage chronic, or ongoing conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, heart problems, arthritis, and high blood pressure. Even if your health is good, overall, a primary care doctor can help you lose weight, reduce stress, become more active, and achieve other health goals.

Sometimes, an illness or injury may require more specialized care from another kind of doctor, or even a whole medical team. A primary care doctor should still be your first contact. They can order tests, refer you to specialists, help plan your care, and get you back on the road to being healthy.

• Appointment coordination with doctors, specialists, and physical therapists
• Patient transportation
• Nutritional meals
   

We also offer Care Management Programs for frail and functionally impaired adults, which include:

Everyone wants a bright, shiny smile, but did you know the health of your teeth and mouth are important to the rest of your body? Besides causing you pain, tooth problems such as cavities and bleeding gums may be linked to heart attacks. If you already have a condition such as diabetes, anemia, HIV/AIDS, or cancer, your risk for oral infections, tooth decay, and gum disease is higher.

AltaMed can help make dental exams and treatments part of your healthy habits. We want you and your entire family to keep your teeth as long as possible, which is why we provide many preventive services, including full dental exams with digital X-rays, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and oral health education.

As a woman, it’s important to take care of your behavioral health. Women are much more likely to suffer from major depression, anxiety, and the negative effects of stress. And no matter if the cause is physical, mental, or emotional, we want you to feel comfortable and confident to seek out treatment. 

For some people, these feelings may be temporary and quickly resolved with counseling or peer support groups. Others may require more focused treatment and even medication to help them feel better. We’re dedicated to connecting you with the right care: compassionate, personalized, and confidential. Remember, you are not alone.

Get the Support You Need

AltaMed PACE is the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly. It was created for seniors who are managing multiple health conditions who need just a little extra help but aren’t ready for assisted living.

With AltaMed PACE, seniors are picked up at their homes and transported in style – you’ve probably seen the vans in your neighborhood! A few days a week, seniors visit a community-focused center where they get medical care and meals and can participate in social activities. Best of all, AltaMed PACE visits and services may be covered by Medicare.

Learn more about AltaMed PACE and call (855) 252-PACE (7223) to apply.

If you have complex health conditions, you may be taking a number of medications. It’s easy to lose track. And then what happens if you’re down to your last pill, but can’t find a ride to the pharmacy?

Having your medications available to you at the PACE center makes it easy to stay compliant with your medications. When all of your medications are in one place, a pharmacist can watch for potential drug interactions, which helps keep you safe. Plus, we’ll remind you when you’re due for a refill.

And now, instead of going to the pharmacy and standing in a long line, you can pick your medications up when you’re at your local PACE center.
