Primary Care Clinic in Calvert City

View Hide Transcript
♪ [music] ♪

- [Dr. Jessup] So we are very fortunate to
have this as a primary care clinic here

in Calvert City. There are, you know,
limited access to primary care in the

Western Kentucky area. Everyone
does need a medical home where

they can go for their primary care.
That includes preventative healthcare,

which is immunizations, lab testing.
So we're able to provide all of that right

here in Calvert City and not have the
patients have to travel, you know,

all the way to Paducah or, you know,
other cities. They can do it here locally.

If they already get sick,
they can call us that morning.

We'll get them put on the schedule
sometime later that day.

- [Autumn] When I found out that Dr.
Jessup was starting here in Calvert City,

I was thrilled. I knew she could see my
family, from my husband to my children.

Then, when I realized that Dr. Jessup
had a pediatric background,

that was even better, since I had
a four-week-old that I was

afraid I was going to have
to go receive care elsewhere.

- Family medicine sees from birth until
death. They get all of their care

in one location. We can treat mom, dad,
kids, everyone at the same location.

You get to know the family as a whole and
understand the family dynamics as part

of family practice. Instead of just
seeing them as one single person,

you understand the family
dynamics as well.
