Waterford Community Health Center
Each clinic is staffed by a dedicated team of licensed nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, and trained support professionals—all working under the guidance of a local medical director (physician). Our team is committed to compassionate, patient-centered care that’s close to home.
Preventative Healthcare
One of the best ways to stay healthy and to improve your well-being is to take advantage of preventive healthcare.
With preventive care, you have a greater chance of early detection of disease or disability, such as cancer, diabetes, and hypertension. Early detection allows you to get started on treatment sooner and take a proactive approach to your health.
Our clinics offer a full range of preventive services for helping you and your family stay healthy, including the following:
Virtual Primary Care & Behavioral Health Visits
We offer secure, convenient telehealth appointments for both primary care and mental health services. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, have a minor illness, or need support for anxiety, depression, or stress, our licensed providers are available to meet with you from the comfort of your home.
Routine Checkups
Annual checkups help you stay on top of your health. These visits include a full health assessment, discussion of any new symptoms or concerns, and updates to medications or preventive care plans — all aimed at keeping you well and detecting any issues early.
Immunizations
We provide a full range of vaccinations for children, teens, and adults, including flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, tetanus, shingles, and more. Staying up to date on immunizations helps protect you and your community from preventable diseases.
Regular Screenings
Preventive screenings can detect health problems early — when they’re most treatable. We offer screenings such as blood pressure checks, cholesterol tests, cancer screenings, and more, tailored to your age, risk factors, and medical history.
Disease Management
If you’re living with chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, or heart disease, our team will work with you to create a personalized care plan. We’ll help you monitor symptoms, adjust treatments, and support healthy lifestyle changes.
Medicare Wellness Exams
For Medicare beneficiaries, we provide Annual Wellness Visits designed to create or update a personalized prevention plan. These exams are covered by Medicare and focus on identifying risks, setting health goals, and coordinating care to keep you healthy as you age.
Sports Physicals
We offer quick and easy sports physicals for students and athletes, ensuring they’re medically cleared to participate in school or recreational sports. These exams check for injuries, overall fitness, and any conditions that may need attention before physical activity.
Children
At every stage of life, your children can benefit from preventive care. Our clinics are ready to care for your loved ones’ needs, including well-baby and well-child visits as well as regular checkups.
The most important step you can take toward protecting your children from serious illness is to stay current on their immunizations. Vaccines for childhood illnesses are safe and prevent potential complications from even mild diseases.
In recent years, vaccines have been developed to stem illnesses like the flu, infantile diarrhea (rotavirus), hepatitis, meningitis and human papillomavirus (HPV). Parents have more opportunities than ever to keep kids healthy and safe from contagious illnesses.
Older Adults
Preventive care in older adults can help improve quality of life and decrease healthcare costs. Although the likelihood of illness and chronic disease increases with age, the frequency and severity of disease can be reduced with preventive care.
Our clinics have comprehensive services for the aging population. Our staff can help ensure that older adults stay current on their vaccinations. Plus, our facilities are set up for the multiple health screenings that can help prevent, delay, or minimize disease in older adults.
