It's All About You
Getting to know you.
The cornerstone of the Premise Health experience is simple: it’s all about you. Our physicians and staff are focused on your wellness. Compared to traditional community medical practices, our providers spend more time building an understanding of your health. It’s a truly different experience. It’s less rushed. And it starts with having the right people to take care of you. People who will listen. People who will build a real, trusting relationship with you – leading to better care.
Better relationships for better care.
The Carpenters Center for Health staff includes a Doctor as the Medical Director, Nurse Practitioner, Registered Nurse, Health Condition Manager (also a Registered Nurse), Medical Assistants, Health Center Manager and skilled support staff. Everyone on your clinic’s team has been fully screened and selected by Premise Health for their leading-edge knowledge and skills. The Carpenters Center for Health is not designed to replace your current doctor. It works alongside your current medical team, adding a new layer of convenience so you never miss a beat. Plus, if you ever need a referral to a specialist, we’re right here for you.
