Summit's
physicians and staff are committed to meeting the primary care
health needs of the region. Summit physicians serve their patients
by being responsible for diagnosis and treatment within the scope
of their training. They assist in subspecialty and tertiary care
referral when necessary. Each medical problem and referral is
managed so that diagnosis and treatment is timely and takes into
consideration the total medical and social condition of the patient,
including the presence of multiple and interacting medical conditions.
The
highest priority of Summit is to meet the personal needs of all
patients entrusted to the care of Summit physicians and staff.
Patients must have ready access to physicians and staff so that
the benefits of modern medical science and technology may be applied
with sound judgment and compassion. Summit strongly advocates
and promotes healthy lifestyles and preventive medicine. The group
believes that patient education and disease prevention through
medical counseling are important parts of every health care visit.
Summit
is distinguished by the quality of care provided and by its concerted
efforts to reduce health care cost without sacrificing quality.
In this respect, Summit is uniquely sensitive to the needs of
business, government and other payors, as well as patients, in
controlling health care costs.
Summit
physicians and staff have many years of experience and have established
reputations for medical practice in this community for more than
40 years. The group combines the energies and expertise of these
health care professionals to lead primary care in the region while
seeking to provide the best environment for patients, payors,
physicians, and their staff in providing the most effective and
cost conscious model of health care delivery in our region.
