Center for Family Health – Our Patient-centered Medical Home
The Center for Family Health, located in Springfield, PA, is the home base for our Family Medicine Residency. Our office offers full-scope family medicine across all ages and serves as a primary referral site amongst specialty practices within Crozer Health.
Residents work closely with ancillary staff to provide the highest quality primary care to our patients, who come from all walks of life throughout Delaware County. Residents are assigned a patient panel that they follow from their first day of residency to graduation.
Residents are assigned to various teams at the Center for Family Health. Each team consists of one to two residents in each academic year, an attending physician, and a dedicated medical assistant. This keeps continuity in mentorship and patient care and helps streamline inbox management amongst the providers within each team.
ChesPenn Center for Family Health – Our Federally Qualified Health Center
The ChesPenn Center for Family Health, located in Upper Darby, PA, is our program’s Federally Qualified Health Center. At ChesPenn, we offer full spectrum family medicine to underserved families and individuals. We strive to meet the unique health needs in the local community in linguistically and culturally competent ways.
Residents will be afforded the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a variety of office-based procedures. Some examples include pap smears, Nexplanon insertions and removals, IUD placements, and joint injections. Our clinic is even complete with an ultrasound machine for residents to utilize at their prenatal visits.
This location emphasizes the full lifespan nature of family medicine. Residents see proportionally more infants and children and a wider variety of disease presentations. It is truly one of the most intellectually engaging and interpersonally rewarding experiences that our residency has to offer.
