Your primary care physician is your first line of defense when illness and injury come knocking, and at my age I can appreciate how big a difference it makes having a doctor you can trust. The professionals at the Golisano Center For Community Health, who are able to treat their underserved community with care and compassion. In addition to primary care services, they also offer behavioral health services, psychiatric professionals, dental services, and services for the intellectually and developmentally disabled.

I was fortunate enough to sit down with Dr. Simmanjeet Mangat and get an insider's perspective on what goes on at this community-focused medical center, and learn about how they specialize in comprehensive, integrated health care services to adults.

I also had the opportunity to talk to some of the staff who are an integral part of the Golisano Center For Community Health. They had some terrific insight into family their important role in the community, and I was so impressed by how determined and willing they were to help everyone who comes through their doors.

I also had the pleasure of chatting with some of the folks from Lewiston Primary Care Center, located right in my neck of the woods at 4600 Military Road in Niagara Falls, NY. Their knowledgeable staff had insight on vaccinations, year-round medical care and the benefits of being a teaching facility.
