LEWIS COUNTY GENERAL HOSPITAL
FAMILY HEALTH CENTERS
High Quality Health Care With A Family-Centered Focus
Your Family Medicine doctor is the physician you’ll likely have the most
contact with. Naturally, you’ll want to see them about nasty winter colds,
annual exams, or bumps and bruises. But you’ll also want to talk to them
about depression, a curious breast lump or trouble with your hearing.
As a Health Center patient, you also have access to the many skilled
specialty practitioners and services at Lewis County General Hospital. Our
Family Medicine physicians are a great point of access to other healthcare
specialties both through Lewis County General Hospital and other providers.
Our primary concern is getting you the best care possible by accessing
your needs, treating your ailments or referring you to a qualified specialist.
We believe strongly that this can still be done in the old fashioned, caring
way by encouraging a strong relationship with your family physician. We
promise you that we will do our best to listen to you, care for you, and bring
you quality medicine in the same home town way you have grown
accustomed to over the years. We thank you for the trust you have placed
in us.

Steps to Becoming a Wiser Health Care Consumer
(WMS)- Is the quality of your health care as good as it could be? According to the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services’ Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), millions of Americans
receive high-quality health care, yet there are times when something goes wrong.
The fact is, health-care quality varies and depends on many things, such as where you live, who you are,
and how much is known about treating your condition. Despite these findings, there are steps you can take
to improve the quality of your own health care. The more involved you are in your own health care, the
better results you will get. Here’s what you can do to get the most from your health care.
1. Become an active member of your health-care team. Know your doctors. Developing positive
relationships with your health-care providers and becoming a full partner in making decisions about your
care can help with proper diagnosis and treatment.
2. Ask questions at every doctor’s visit. All patients deserve thorough and clear explanations and
information about their condition. Pay attention to the care you receive. If something doesn’t make sense to
you or if you have concerns, speak up. Ask for clarification or for additional information on the topic. Some
areas to pay close attention to include:
a) Diagnosis - Ask your doctor to write down your diagnosis and explain how he or she determined it.
b) Testing - Ask what additional tests you may need, what they are for, what they are measuring and why,
and what they will cost. How will the results affect your condition, medications and future testing? When
you receive the test results, ask for an explanation or interpretation of what the letters or numbers stand
for. Be aware of routine medical tests and how often you need them. Make sure you are getting these tests
as needed.
c) Treatment options - Ask about all your options. It is likely there is more than one way to manage or treat
the condition. What are the benefits, risks and side effects of treatment? How long will you need to
continue this treatment, and how will you know if the treatment is working? What will these treatments cost
you?
d) Medications - Before getting any new prescription filled, make sure your doctors know about everything
you are taking, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines and dietary supplements. That way,
they can advise you about any possible drug interactions or side effects you may experience. (They may
even recommend an entirely different drug.) You should ask what your prescribed medications are, what
they do, and what their side effects are. When you get prescriptions filled, make sure you understand what
you are taking and why you are taking it.
3. Create a health journal. This is a handy way to record your questions, keep records of your medical
history, such as test dates and results, medications you are taking and their doses, dates of doctor visits,
immunizations you have received, and any allergies you may have. You can take the journal with you to
every doctor’s appointment to avoid unnecessary calls and repeat visits.
4. Educate yourself about health-related issues. If you have Internet access, take advantage of the multitude
of health information Web sites available. However, be cautious, because not all sites provide the most
accurate information. Generally, the most reliable sites are
those that are sponsored by the government or by universities.
If you don’t have access to the Internet, visit your local library
or bookstore. Learning as much as you can about your
disease or condition, or your health in general, may improve
the success of your treatment and help you make more
informed decisions.
5. Choose doctors and hospitals wisely and seek expert advice
when needed. The AHRQ advises health care consumers to
look for a doctor who: has received high ratings for quality of
care; has the training and experience to meet your needs;
takes steps to prevent illness (i.e., will talk to you about
getting the screening tests that are right for you); can get you
admitted to or treat you at the hospital of your choice; is part
of your
health plan (unless you are willing to pay extra); and will work
with you to make decisions about your health care.
7. Understand your health insurance plan. Know what is
covered and what is not covered.
