Shared Medical Appointments

Now you can have faster access to your doctor through our Shared Medical Appointment (SMA) program. A shared medical appointment is an exciting new way you can spend more time with your provider and other patients with similar health conditions.

The goal of the program is to provide you with appointments more quickly and provide more time for questions and concerns in a warm and supportive environment. Shared medical appointments benefits:

• Better access to the provider
• Discuss your medical concerns and ask questions
• Change or refill your prescription medications
• Schedule and discuss any needed medical tests
• Get your flu shot and immunizations updated
