Family Medicine

Keeping track of your family’s health can be overwhelming. You may need to address an acute or chronic health condition, stay current on immunizations or preventive appointments, and manage wellness exams. Candace Bentley, MSN, APNP, FNP-BC, offers comprehensive family medicine at CB's NP Health Services in Brown Deer, Wisconsin. The practice treats patients aged two and older, focusing on a holistic approach to managing your and your family’s well-being. If you’re interested in finding a home base for you and your family’s health needs, reach out online or by phone to the practice today. 

What is family medicine? 

Family medicine specializes in comprehensive care for children, teens, and adults. While pediatricians just treat children and internists focus on certain adult conditions, CB's NP Health Services can treat the whole family and maintain continuity across your family’s lifecycle. 

Family medicine aims to be a home base for all your family’s health concerns and treatments. Your CB's NP Health Services provider works with you to heal acute illness or injury, prevent health conditions down the road, and service current chronic health issues, like diabetes or high cholesterol.   

Your provider stays current on your and your family’s medical history, which is helpful if you or a family member needs to see an outside provider or specialist. The practice also records your immunizations and vaccines so that you have an accurate reference point when it comes time to travel or enroll in school.  

What are the benefits of family medicine?

Unlike other specialists or providers focusing on a particular disease, condition, or organ, a family medicine provider provides expansive healthcare services. 

Benefits of family medicine include: 

• Lower health costs 
• Up-to-date immunizations and vaccines 
• Lower infant mortality and higher birth rates  
• Healthier, longer lives 
• Trusting patient/provider relationships 
• Coordination with the entire family’s health insurance plans 
• First contact for all health concerns 
• Understanding determinants of health (social, genetic, environment, and income level)
• Coordination with specialists or hospitals 

CB’s NP Health Services is passionate about providing communicative and empowering holistic care, always considering how a health issue can impact your entire family.
