Internal Medicine

The Penn State Health Approach to Internal Medicine

The general internal medicine doctors at Penn State Health specializes in your wellness. We help you stay healthy throughout all stages of your life - from young adulthood through the retirement years. Our internal medicine doctors help keep you well and treat you when you are sick. We specialize in preventive care, acute health concerns and chronic disease management like high blood pressure and diabetes. We get to know your health history, your lifestyle and health goals. We partner with you to help keep you well and feel your best.

If you need to see a specialist, we help coordinate your care. That means, you have access to all the expertise and resources throughout our nationally recognized health system. We also coordinate care if you need to be hospitalized and in rehabilitation centers or skilled nursing facilities after hospitalization.

In addition to these primary care services, we also have dedicated clinics to serve our patients in need of addiction care, women’s health and contraceptive care, joint injections and other procedures, behavioral health, and medical consultation.

As a primary care practice at an academic medical center, one of our primary goals is to train the next generation of primary care health care professionals. Our nationally known educators are proudly teaching internal medicine residents, medical students and other health professional students to provide compassionate, evidence-based, patient-centered care. We are equally committed to improving access to care for all populations and eliminating healthcare disparities.

Complete Care for a Full Range of Health Conditions

Whether you need routine care or more advanced care to manage ongoing conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol or arthritis, we’re here for you. Our goal is to make staying healthy a little easier. We offer regular checkups and immunizations and recommend age-specific screenings and health guidance to keep you feeling good at every stage of your life.

If you need to see a specialist such as a podiatrist or cardiologist, we help coordinate care to provide a seamless experience. We work as a team with other experts to help you feel your best. We also work with experts in mental health services, rehabilitation, nutrition and other areas of health. We provide personal, whole-person care focused on your good health.
