Located at the crossroads of several distinct neighborhoods, our Family Health Center serves more than 32,000 patients annually. You'll have a unique opportunity to experience the many complexities faced by those living in a diverse, vibrant urban environment.
Just a half-mile from our hospital, the clinic's 21,000 square feet incorporates the Institute for Healthcare Improvement principles of "Idealized Office Design." The 27 examination rooms are arranged in four pods. Each pod is a home base for the physician and his/her patients within the clinic. Three procedure rooms allow us to teach office procedures including colposcopy, OB ultrasounds, sigmoidoscopy, non-stress testing, exercise stress testing, endometrial biopsy and much more. The center has full service X-ray, and laboratory facilities, OM tables and fully functional electronic medical records.
Our video precepting system provides real-time feedback without intruding on patient care. You'll have a large resident lounge with lockers, multiple computers and telephones - even a shower.
