Medical Care - Primary Services

2003

Through WIHD's Primary Care Services program, medical care is provided to individuals who reside with their families, in residential settings, and attend day programs. Because of our experience, we have a thorough understanding of the various documentation requirements that may be called for by each of these settings. On-site services include: Preventive Care - Annual physical examinations, gynecological screenings (Pap smears, pelvic and breast exams), cholesterol, thyroid function, prostate cancer and osteoporosis screenings, and testing for tuberculosis. Routine Medical Care - Annual physical examinations, completion of forms and clearance to participate in camps, day programs, and recreation programs such as Special Olympics, urgent care due to illness. Follow up Medical Services - Ongoing health problems such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Internal Medicine Services - Conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, hormonal imbalances, diabetes, cancer, auto-immune disorders. Laboratory Services - Ability to collect blood, urine, stool and other cultures.
