what are included in primary care services
The UMMC Difference. UMMC Primary Care focuses on health maintenance and disease prevention as key components in patient care. To fulfill the general medical needs of specific patient populations, many of our physicians have expertise in subspecialty areas in addition to their primary care knowledge. Primary care specialties include family medicine, general internal medicine, geriatrics (gerontology), general pediatrics, combined internal medicine/pediatrics, and general obstetrics and gynecology. See Childrenâs of Mississippi primary care services.
