Faith Health Internal Medicine

Internal medicine includes care focused on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and education of conditions and diseases in adults. You can see an internal medicine provider, also known as an internist, at Faith Health for basic preventative care or treatment for complex medical conditions.

Which should I choose for primary care, family medicine or internal medicine?

For most adults, an internal medicine physician can be your primary care provider. The main difference is that family medicine physicians and advanced practice providers treat patients of all ages, from newborns to adults, while internal medicine physicians only care for adults ages 18 and older.

Rest assured, no matter your choice for primary care, at Faith Health, our internal medicine team will work closely with our family medicine team and other specialties to make sure you have continuous, high-quality care for your individual condition.
