Family Medicine Services

Family medicine is a medical specialty devoted to comprehensive health care for people of all ages. It is a division of primary care that provides continuing and comprehensive health care for the individual and family across all ages, sexes, diseases, and parts of the body. It is based on knowledge of the patient in the context of the family and the community, emphasizing disease prevention and health promotion.  Here at Covenant House Inc. we have three different types of clinicians offering family medicine:

    • Medical Doctors (MD)

    • Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO)

Pediatrics Services

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents.

Behavioral Health Services

Our Behavioral Health team is focused on promoting the health and well-being of the whole person – mind, body and spirit.  Licensed Social Workers work closely with our primary care medical team to evaluate how stress, mood and anxiety problems, trauma, relationship difficulties, alcohol or other substance use, and other challenges in life affect and limit our patients’ overall health.  A specialized treatment plan is then developed utilizing consultation, counseling, and if needed, medication designed to address each patient’s unique circumstances and needs. Integrating behavioral health with primary care has been shown to improve emotional and physical health better than trying to address these separately.
