Primary Care Services

Primary Care

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.

The Services to Help You Grow Healthy and the Protection to Keep You Safe

For the past 50 years, our top priority has been helping our patients grow healthy. Our locations remain open and safe to support you and your family’s health needs.

Dentistry

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.

Keeping Your Child’s Smile Healthy

Seeing your child smile is a great feeling. Keeping that smile healthy can take some work. Children’s dental health can be easy to overlook, but the truth is it’s essential to their overall wellbeing.

Geriatrics

As we age, we all have different health care needs. No matter how healthy you are, you can’t get away from aging! But you can stay well, and get the right care to help you maintain a healthy life.

AltaMed has doctors who specialize in helping you age well. They’re called geriatric physicians, and they’re trained in the aging process. They focus on some of the risks older adults face, including osteoporosis, heart disease, and sleep disorders. Our geriatric specialists can also refer you or a loved one to other services that promote health and self-sufficiency.

Healthy Aging: What’s Normal Versus What You Should Worry About

Women’s Health

Wife, mother, sister, daughter, professional, friend…if you’re a woman, you need to take care of yourself so you can be the very best in all aspects of your life. It’s good to start a health routine early, and continue through every life stage – from reproductive health, safe sex education, mammograms, well woman visits, and so much more.

Besides compassionate care from bilingual doctors and professionals, we have classes available to help support you and your unique health needs.

Let’s Get Back on Track for Women’s Health Care

Even though COVID-19 has been our nation’s most pressing health concern for the past three months, breast cancer, cervical cancer, heart disease, and diabetes still threaten the health of our communities. Hopefully, you’ve been taking care of yourself, eating right, finding ways to exercise, and taking care of your mental health, but if you’re like most people, you’ve probably let your routine visits to the doctor slide.

Pediatrics to Young Adult

At AltaMed, our pediatricians care for your baby until they are fully grown, including giving age-appropriate immunizations and screenings .

Regardless of where you live or where your clinic is located, pediatric patients can get the vaccines they need to stay healthy and prevent mumps, measles, HPV, and the flu.

Your Guide to Well Child Checkups

Ensuring your child’s health is a complex, rewarding, and ever-changing process. Here’s what to plan for from birth to age 21.

Health Screenings

Even healthy adults need regular health screenings. From your head to your toes, and at every age and stage, we meet the screening and immunization guidelines put forth by the agencies that include the U.S. Preventive Services Taskforce, the American Diabetes Association, and the Centers for Disease Control.

If you’re healthy, we’ll try to keep you that way with regular screenings of your blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, teeth, eyes, and weight; if you’re a woman, that also includes Pap smears and mammograms. If you are at increased risk for, or have, common conditions like diabetes or hypertension, you’ll need a few more tests to help make sure you’re moving in the right direction.

The Services to Help You Grow Healthy and the Protection to Keep You Safe

For the past 50 years, our top priority has been helping our patients grow healthy. Our locations remain open and safe to support you and your family’s health needs.

Supportive Services

AltaMed supports our members who are elderly or have complex health care needs with programs that make it easier to access the resources and care that can truly make a difference. Our services are tailored to the needs of each patient with the goal of helping older adults continue to live independently, at home, for as long as possible.

And we are here to help caregivers too. Our services include care management, home visits, and limited in-home services, like homemaker assistance and respite hours.

To qualify for Senior Supportive Programs, seniors do not need health insurance, but must:

Be 60 years of age or older
Reside in Los Angeles County

Health Screenings After 50

Even if you’ve lived a healthy life, as you enter your 50s, your risk of developing chronic diseases, such as arthritis, heart conditions, cancer, diabetes, and even depression increases.

Behavioral Health

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 to the Heart of Heart Disease

We can fill, warm, break, change and give our hearts, but perhaps the most important role of a heart to have is to be a healthy and it’s up to us to make sure it is. Heart disease is the number one cause of death for both men and women in the United States, with one in four deaths caused by heart disease.
