Sick care refers to medical attention provided for illnesses or conditions that develop suddenly and typically run their course in a short period and are non-emergency in nature. This care is often sought for common ailments like colds, flu, minor infections, and other non-emergency health issues. Sick care visits will involve diagnosis, treatment, and advice on managing symptoms to ensure a quick recovery.

FCA providers play a crucial role in managing a variety of chronic medical conditions. The approach is personalized, focusing on long-term health and well-being. Regular check-ups, dietary advice, and stress management techniques are all part of a comprehensive care plan. This holistic approach helps to keep issues such as blood pressure under control and reduces risk of heart disease.

Beyond medication, there is also guidance on nutrition and exercise, which are critical in managing the condition. FCA is ready to help those who struggle with depression and anxiety as well.

An annual physical is a comprehensive health check-up that helps ensure your overall well-being. During this visit, your healthcare provider will review your medical history, discuss any health concerns, and perform a physical examination. This typically includes measuring vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration rate, as well as checking your weight and height. The provider may also order routine blood tests and screenings based on your age, gender, and risk factors. Annual physicals are an opportunity to catch potential health issues early, and receive personalized advice on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Regular check-ups help build a strong patient-provider relationship, which is crucial for long-term health management. In addition, the FCA providers also can perform the needed sports physicals required for children by their school or sports league.

The House Calls is where the providers are visiting patients who are either too ill or unable to come to the clinic with treatment in their homes to deliver personalized medical care. This approach is particularly beneficial for individuals with mobility issues, chronic conditions, or those who require continuous care but find it challenging to visit a clinic or hospital. House calls offer a unique opportunity for providers to assess the patient's living environment, which can provide valuable insights into factors affecting their health. Services typically include managing chronic illnesses, post-hospitalization care, health assessments, and endof-life care. By bringing healthcare directly to the patient's doorstep, house calls enhance access to care, improve patient-provider relationships, and can reduce the need for hospital visits.
