Description
The Guilford County Division of Public Health began offering traditional primary care services for adults in June 2021, including preventive services, diagnosis and treatment of acute sicknesses like urinary tract infections and management of chronic conditions like diabetes. These services also support patients in making healthy choices to maintain good health and increase access to regular health screenings for prevention and early detection. These services are available at both 1100 East Wendover in Greensboro and 501 E. Green Street in High Point. The East Wendover site also includes four exam rooms, a waiting area, and two negative pressure rooms that can be used to test, counsel, and treat patients with suspected communicable diseases.
