Northwest Primary Care - Specialized in Senior Services

     As people age into the later half of their lives, we know that particular challenges arise that require a variety of special services to overcome.  Unfortunately, not all Healthcare facilities provide such niche services and access is a large component of the barriers that keep people from receiving the care they need.  For senior patients, these barriers can become significantly taller and widespread.  

Here in Portland Oregon, Northwest Primary Care functions as clinic devoted to family practice and internal medicine however, their senior care services check all the boxes that an elderly man or woman would be looking for.  They offer specialized programs for Alzheimer's and Dementia, Diabetes, Chronic Disease Management, Cardiac Services, Geriatric, Minor Surgery, Nutrition, Sleep Health, Travel Medicine, Physical Therapy, Audiology, and Acupuncture.  Here is a link to access details for each individual senior program.  Not only does NW Primary care offer a variety of senior care services, they operate from 8 different clinic locations covering West Portland, East Portland, Milwaukie,  Clackamas, and Oregon City.  



     We know that the elderly population here in the US is estimated at 22% or about 43 million people over 65 years old. Many however likely didn't know that Oregon's 65-and-older population growth rate is faster than the nation's as a whole. The median age in Oregon is 39.3 years, compared to 38 for the U.S. and as people reach 75 and older, we know that disabilities, illness, and physical limitations become a part of everyday life.  Northwest Primary Care clinics are riddled through out Portland and provide those services needed to attend to our growing elderly population. For specialized senior care services, Northwest Primary Care is here.
