Comprehensive medical services

Primary care: progressive and patient centered

Our primary care clinics are pioneering the transformation to medical homes - where your personal doctor leads a team dedicated to helping you maintain your lifelong health. A medical home focuses on the health of the whole person, rather than treating separate symptoms and illnesses. All our clinics have adopted or are transitioning to this model, which we will continue to refine over the coming months

About medical homes - A medical home offers services tailored to your needs. These range from reminders about prevention and wellness, to care focused on helping you manage chronic conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Patients with complex needs receive extra support.

Along with primary care providers, Legacy patients also have access to many specialists to help you manage chronic or recurring health conditions, including:
