Best Health • Summer 2021 7 Everyone needs a primary care provider for their regular medical care. Why not choose someone who will give you great service and great care? “We treat our patients like family,” says Gennie Wolken- Mullen, APRN-C. Wolken-Mullen is one of the providers—which include physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners—at the NMRMC Family Medicine Clinic in Chanute. Here’s more about what makes our clinic and the providers there so special: They can care for your whole family. Family medicine providers care for people of all ages—from babies to great- grandparents. In fact, some family medicine providers have treated multiple generations of the same family. The service is fast and friendly. Maybe you need a same-day appointment for your sick child or a fast test result. “We really work hard to give you a timely response,” says Mallori Jacks, PA-C. “We work for you.” Wolken-Mullen adds, “We feel like it’s important to provide excellent communication and to treat our patients with respect.” Convenient health services are available all under one roof. Among them: ◆ Wellness visits and checkups for women and men. ◆ Immunizations (including COVID-19 shots for ages 12 and older). ◆ Sports physicals. ◆ Treatment for minor illnesses and injuries. ◆ Care for chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. ◆ Minor procedures, such as mole removal. ◆ X-rays and lab tests. “You can have your lab work and x-rays done within 20 feet of your exam room,” says Beth Nothern, PA-C. “You don’t have to go elsewhere for most things. We’re a one-stop shop.” If you need to go to the hospital, the providers can see you at NMRMC too. This can improve the continuity of your care. They already know you and your health history. And you may feel more comfortable having your regular provider see you when you’re admitted at NMRMC. The providers specialize in your overall health. They will take the time to listen and teach you about ways to stay healthy. “We go over preventive medicine, including the need for things like colonoscopies, Pap smears and mammograms,” Jacks says. The focus is always on you and great care. “We take the time to really get to know you,” Nothern says. “That combined with our staff being so compassionate makes this a great place to get your care.” A primary care difference you can feel Make the call To schedule an appointment with a family medicine provider, call 620-432-5588 .
