The Parent Shortcut: Scheduling Pediatric and Adult Care Together

One-Stop Scheduling for Your Whole Family

Every family has a story that holds them together, and we want to know yours and help you author it by keeping all of you healthy — in body, mind and spirit — with primary care for your whole family.

Health care providers specializing in family medicine treat patients at every age and life stage — from newborns to great grandparents. That means your whole family can see the same doctor and enjoy all the benefits that come with working with one provider. Some of those benefits include convenience and the desire for your physician to know your whole family. In this case, our whole-person approach to health care becomes a whole-family philosophy that includes each family member’s health and well-being along with your context as a family unit.

Simplify Your Family’s Health Care Appointments

As part of treating the whole person in body, mind and spirit, our AdventHealth family medicine providers are committed to knowing you personally, listening to your unique concerns and needs and documenting your health history. They can coordinate all aspects of care, refer you to specialists when needed and find cost-effective health care solutions so you can make confident decisions for your family. Imagine being able to streamline your whole family’s primary care all in one place with the same provider.

Your family medicine doctor can address most health care concerns and should be the first point of contact for acute, chronic and preventative health needs for each member of your family, including:

• Basic testing and assessments
• Bone and joint care
• Ear, nose and throat care
• Elderly care
• Emergency medical care
• Eye care
• Immunizations
• Infant care
• Lifestyle counseling
• Mental and behavioral health
• Minor surgical procedures
• Pediatric care
• Routine checkups
• School and sports physicals
• Treatment for chronic conditions
• Well-woman care

Coordinating Care for Kids and Adults Made Easy

Another vital component of family medicine is achieving continuity of care. Your health care team actively works with you to achieve a common goal — keeping you and your family well. Sometimes, this can involve referral to specialists, but your medical home base is still your primary care team. They can advocate for you and your whole family to help you get the care you deserve — together.
