Primary Care

Your primary care physician is your partner in navigating your care team and providing medical guidance for you and your family. Wayne Health has primary care physicians that specialize in family medicine, internal (general) medicine and obstetrics/gynecology.  Wayne Health offers same day and telehealth primary care appointments with access to leading-edge technologies, specialized treatments and testing, and clinical trials.

Wayne Health General Primary Care services are a foundation of the Center for Population Health Accountability (CPHA) at Wayne Health’s 400 Mack Detroit Health Center in Midtown Detroit. At the CPHA, we help families improve their overall health and well-being with a full range of adult primary medical care.

Wayne Health’s primary care services focus on the care of the whole person and serve an essential role in supporting the health and well-being of our patients. Wayne Health offers board-certified primary care physicians, trained in all areas of primary care, that are part of the Wayne Health network of specialists available for referrals if needed.

Choosing the right primary care physician for your everyday care is an important first step in your journey to health and wellness. Our primary care physicians, regardless of their specialty, are able to:

• Provide skilled preventive care and help you maintain a healthy lifestyle
• Diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions
• Help you manage chronic illnesses
• Refer you to experienced and respected specialists, when needed
• Coordinate your care with other providers in both outpatient and inpatient settings

Choosing a primary care physician is an important decision. The type of primary care provider you choose for your primary care depends on several factors, including your age, gender, overall health and family history of disease. Wayne Health offers access to board-certified primary care providers with extensive training in all areas of primary care, including:

Family Medicine

Wayne Health Family Medicine physicians provide comprehensive, integrated care to patients of all ages, from infants to seniors. Our board-certified family medicine physicians offer expertise in preventing, diagnosing and treating complex, life-threatening diseases and conditions for the whole family. 

Internal (General) Medicine

Wayne Health Internal (General) Medicine physicians treat adults from age 16 through seniors. Internists not only provide primary and preventive care, such as regular check-ups, but they are also trained to solve diagnostic problems and manage chronic conditions. Our board-certified internal medicine physicians will coordinate your overall medical needs, provide wellness care and refer specialists when necessary.

 Obstetrics/Gynecology

Many women choose obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) physicians for their primary care. Wayne Health’s board-certified OB/Gyns  are trained to provide care for women’s complete healthcare needs, from annual check-ups to pregnancy and childbirth, to medical and surgical care during and after menopause. Ask your OB/GYN about serving as your primary care physician, providing screenings, preventive care and treatment through all stages of your life.

Pediatrics

Our partner, Wayne Pediatrics, offers personalized, family-centered care to children, from birth through adolescence. Pediatricians are trained to provide comprehensive and coordinated care, including well-child care, routine screenings, and diagnosis of acute and chronic illnesses.

Our physicians and researchers at Wayne Health are also faculty at Wayne State University School of Medicine.   We conduct basic research and clinical studies that can make the latest treatments and clinical trials available to you before anywhere else.

Our primary care research activities focus on health care prevention, education and systems of health care delivery.
