Our Primary Care Services

Annual Physicals

An annual physical, also known as a yearly check-up or a general health exam, is a routine visit to a primary care provider to evaluate a person’s overall health and well-being. These exams are an essential part of maintaining good health and are recommended for people of all ages. Regular exams with your provider at Salem Family Medicine can help detect any serious health issues early on, promote healthy lifestyle choices and strengthen your relationship with your primary care provider.

Acute Care

As your primary partner in your care, we are the first point of contact when you get sick. Acute care encompasses sudden illnesses, minor injuries and other common health complaints that need immediate attention. You should always call us as soon as you are feeling bad so that we can treat you as quickly and effectively as possible. In most cases, we can get you in for a sick visit that same day. In certain cases, we will recommend that you go to the emergency room or refer you to a specialist.

Chronic Disease Management

A shocking number of people in the U.S. currently have a chronic disease such as heart disease, diabetes or lung disease. According to the CDC, 60% have at least one chronic disease and 40% have two or more chronic medical conditions. Failing to properly manage these conditions can have serious, life-threatening consequences. Salem Family Medicine in Salem, VA is proud to offer a Chronic Care Management Program to help you reduce the risk of medical complications and improve your quality of life.

Mental Healthcare

Mental health refers to a person’s overall well-being in regard to their emotional, psychological and social functioning. It involves the ability to manage one’s thoughts, emotions and behaviors in a healthy way, to form and maintain healthy relationships and to cope with life’s challenges and stressors. Your physical health and mental health are closely linked, and if you are struggling emotionally, you may experience physical symptoms. We help patients identify and manage mental health issues so that they can ultimately feel better.
