\u201cI was terrified. I\u2019m grateful to so many people for caring for me so well that day \u2013 the nurses, the residents, the doctors. But mostly, Dr. Cristy Page, my doctor at Family Medicine. If she hadn\u2019t intervened, I don\u2019t think it would have happened the way it did. Thanks to her, I got the birth story I wanted.\u201d Jeanine Simmons<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“We intend to stay with Family Medicine for a long, long time,” said Jeanine. “It’s the foundation of our health care, now. If I have a health issue, I call my doctor at Family Medicine first and see what she suggests. It wouldn’t even cross my mind to call someone else because I know I can trust her advice and because she knows me, my family, and our healthcare values.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
