Adult/Geriatric Medicine &
Chronic Disease Management
CJIMA treats the adult population, 18 years and older. This includes the diagnosis, treatment, and management of acute (short lasting) and chronic (long lasting) diseases such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, anxiety, depression, and much more. We do this by seeing these patients for regular office visits and follow ups throughout the year.
Office Visits and Follow Ups is a great time to discuss specific conditions, review labs/studies, and get prescription refills. Periodic follow ups help our team stay on track with your care.
Preventative Medicine
Focuses on the promotion of well-being and the prevention of disease, disability, and death. It is a pro-active effort to maintain wellness, identify risks and potential diseases so they can be caught and treated early. This is also a good time to discuss any concerns that may lead to future issues and to stay up to date with your provider and plan of care. We do this by seeing our patients on an annual basis for their physical exams and annual wellness visits. While both are preventative care visits, they do differ.
Physical Exams are intended for NON-MEDICARE patients. This is an annual proactive “well-check”. Here’s what to expect during your physical:
- Collection of height, weight, and vitals
- Review personal health concerns
- Review medical care preferences
- Assess your social environment
- Review your medications
- Review Family History
- Hands on Physical Examination of body systems
- Necessary tests and Screening
Annual Wellness Visit (AWV): The AWV is intended for MEDICARE patients only. Once you are insured by Medicare, this will replace your Annual Physical going forward. Wellness Visits are different from annual physical exams in that they are mainly a conversation around your overall health and priorities.
- Unlike the traditional physical exam, the wellness visit does not include a hands-on physical examination. AWVs focus on preventive care and long-term needs, topics that may be missed during other visits. Assessment of patient risk factors (e.g. Falls Risk) and supporting systems, wellness education, and discussion of advance care planning are all integral parts of the AWV. Our goal for the visit will be to create a health care plan that makes sense for you, discuss any major concerns you may have with your wellbeing, and focus on what matters most to you with your health care.
Urgent and Sick Care
Same day urgent care is available for our established patients only. Patients seeking urgent care visits should call one of our offices first to get on the schedule or use our convenient online booking tool! Our board-certified Nurse Practitioners will often see you for urgent care. Our NPs are excellent and work hand in hand with our doctors. Urgent care visits are appropriate for non-life-threatening situations. True medical emergencies should always call 911. Examples of appropriate urgent care visits include:
- Cold and Flu symptoms
- Nausea/Vomiting/diarrhea
- Sinus infections
- Earaches and sore throats
- Fevers
- Urinary tract infections
- Minor cuts or injuries
Pre and Post Hospital Care
While our providers do not round in the hospitals, we work with a team of dedicated physicians to see our patients when they are admitted. This ensures we have regular communication and are looped into what is happening with your care. Upon discharge, our team of nurses will reach out to you within a few days to start your discharge planning and schedule a Hospital Follow Up Visit with the practice.
It is critical to see your primary care physician after these events. A lot of things happen during hospital stays (medication changes, treatment plans and more). It is critical we are up to date and on the same page to avoid future hospitalizations and poor outcomes!
We also do pre surgical clearance visits for upcoming procedures.

CJIMA believes in taking a comprehensive approach to your overall care. Nutrition is a critical component to that.
