Our Services:
Primary Adult and Pediatric Care
Offering comprehensive and preventative primary health care services to the medically underserved communities of Wilmington, Delaware, meeting the needs of each individual patient. We will provide care for all, insured and uninsured.

With a team of mental health practitioners and clinical social workers, we will strive to work with you to establish and meet your behavioral health goals, as well as treatment recommendations promoting better mental and behavioral health.
Specialty Healthcare
Our office will offer a variety of specialty care services, such as ENT and Allergy, Pulmonology, and Women’s health specialty. Proximity to a pharmacy and nutritional services will also be provided.
Dental Care
Good dental health translates to good overall health. Our goal is the prevention of its negative effects on your heart, diabetes and chronic inflammation, just to name a few. We will provide access to appropriate dental care as needed.
Social Care Services
Services to assist the overall social well-being of each patient, provided with counselors and/or case managers, to connect patients to the community resources and network, and meet the diverse needs of those we serve.
Lab Testing Services
As a patient-driven medical facility, we strive to provide better and more effective care. The use of point-of-care testing for routine laboratory tests allows for results to be an integral part of every medical decision.
Medication Management
Pharmacists will be available to meet with you privately for one-on-one discussions in person, over the phone, or virtually to help you with your medications, any concerns, and to help you identify harmful medicine combinations. We provide you with the tools to decrease your overall medication costs.
Telehealth Services
With the use of a smartphone, iPad or camera-enabled computer, you will be able to have a virtual visit with your healthcare provider when necessary. Virtual video visits are available for all existing patients, but we prefer to see you in person for the first office visit.
