Advance Care Planning

At Private Physicians Medical Associates, advanced care planning is part of what your membership provides. We believe this conversation is too important to leave to chance, so we have made it a built-in part of caring for you — not an afterthought, and not something you have to navigate alone.

Memory Screening

Getting your memory screening is a significant first step toward finding out if you may have a memory impairment. While a memory screening is not used to diagnose any particular illness, it is very helpful in your long-term health and wellness. Early recognition of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) provides an opportunity for us to treat this condition, and possibly slow down the changes in memory and other thinking skills
