West Front Primary Care is a family medicine/general practice group that combines general medicine, pediatrics, minor surgery, gynecology and social and behavioral sciences. The three main benefits to having a wellness manager are having a personal health coach, improved communication and coordination of care. At West Front, wellness managers Michelle VanHollebeke, RN, Kaitlyn Hans, RN, and Chip Redker, RN, are professionally trained nurses and social workers with expertise in helping families cope more effectively with the challenges that come with staying healthy and managing illness.

            Family practice physicians establish lifelong relationships with patients. Their specialty is treatment of families and individuals at every stage of life and in many circumstances. These relationships give healthcare providers a basis for decisions in each patient’s lifelong care, fostering a partnership between the healthcare provider and patients.

            They provide preventative medicine for children and adults; routine physical examinations; women’s health care; health screening tests; free immunizations for children; office surgical procedures; consultations for patients traveling outside the U.S.; and osteopathic manipulation treatment.
