Helping you better understand your health.
Your health needs are our priority. At Sharp Community Medical Group, we are committed to providing our members with exceptional care and want to help you better understand your health.
Providing you with health sources that you can depend on.
Health information can sometimes be confusing. To help put you at ease, we have provided links to Medline Plus, the National Institutes of Health's website, where you can find up-to-date information about some chronic conditions in an easy to understand language.
Your partner in health.
Your Sharp Community primary care doctor knows your health history best and can help guide you on your health care journey. Should you have any concerns about your health, you can talk with your doctor and come up with a plan on prevention or care management.
