Primary Care Services

BMS' commitment to treating the "whole person" is reflected in our adoption of an "integrated primary care community based health service matrix;" a model of primary care that is patterned on a progressive private practice. Each medical team takes an interdisciplinary and integrative approach to coordinate the patient’s care. The on-site clinical areas include:

  • Adult Internal Medicine
  • Infectious Disease
  • Pediatrics
  • OB/GYN
  • Dentistry
  • Psychology
  • Psychiatry
  • Social Services

Specialty Services

  • Dermatology
  • Optometry
  • Podiatry
  • Nephrology
  • Physical therapy

  • Surgery consultations

BMS is planning to add gastroenterology, cardiology, and orthopedic consultations to its selection of specialized services.
