Primary care is the main focus of an individual’s care needs. Its goal is to enhance your overall health by giving you convenient access to medical care. Primary care concentrates on the whole individual instead of a specific disease, organ, or system.

At Ruffin Medical Group, we offer primary care services to patients residing at home or in assisted living facilities and group homes. Our providers specialize in the following areas:

  • Health Maintenance
  • Health Counseling
  • Patient Education
  • Ongoing Management of Chronic Conditions
