At Carilion, our family and internal medicine teams are at the center of your care. We help you stay well, coordinate with your other doctors, and support your health at every stage of life.

Who we are

Your care team includes doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and other caring professionals. Together, we bring deep experience and a strong focus on adult care—while taking the time to get to know you.

Whole-person care

We care for your physical and mental health to help you stay well, recover when you’re sick, and manage long-term conditions like diabetes, heart disease, asthma, and more. You’re part of every decision we make about your care.

Care for every stage of life

From vaccines and screenings to health education and lifestyle support, we partner with you to help you stay healthy over time.

Part of your community

We’re committed to improving the health of the communities we serve.

Your primary care team is your main contact for all health matters. They know your story—including your medical history, medicines, family background, and lifestyle. They use that knowledge to guide your care over time.

Having a primary care team you can depend on means you won’t have to navigate the health system alone. Having a primary care team helps us prevent illness, detect changes early, and lay a foundation for long-term wellness.

When you’re ill or dealing with a chronic condition, they coordinate care with other experts and during hospital stays. When you’re sick or recovering, they help you understand test results and take the next steps.

At Carilion, your primary care team works as part of a larger team of nurses, other doctors, and experts across Carilion. They share information, track your progress, and ensure your care plan is clear and consistent. This allows you to focus on feeling your best.

Your primary care team is here for almost every health concern. From common illnesses to ongoing conditions, we provide the first level of care. We’ll guide you to other experts when needed.
