People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) often have complex medical needs that many general healthcare providers are not trained to manage. Premier HealthCare is dedicated to closing that gap. Our Primary Care team is built around deep expertise and a commitment to whole-person care.

• Specialized Expertise: Our staff—including physicians, family practice specialists, and nurse practitioners—receive specialized training to manage the unique health concerns of the I/DD community.
• Tailored Approach: We focus on your abilities and needs, developing long-term, supportive partnerships with every patient and their supports. For example, medication instructions are individualized for each person, with written summaries often provided via the patient portal to make sure someone can understand and follow the plan.
• Comprehensive Services: We offer Internal Medicine, Family Practice, and Pediatrics, providing comprehensive care for the person with I/DD and their family.

We understand that accessing healthcare can be challenging. Our services are designed to remove barriers and create a supportive experience:

• One-of-a-Kind Desensitization Program: Helping patients become comfortable with medical environments and procedures.
• Telehealth Offerings: Convenient virtual options to manage ongoing conditions and follow-up care.
• Thorough Review: Diagnosis and treatment are always based on a comprehensive review of the patient’s history, with specialists guiding people and their families through testing, education, and ongoing management.
