The WVU Medicine Waynesburg Outpatient Center is committed to providing high quality primary care close to home for patients of all ages, including infants, children, adults, and seniors.

Primary care explained
At WVU Medicine Primary Care, patients can choose from the following practitioners:
无毛视频� Family medicine providers, who care for patients of all ages, including infants, children, adults, and seniors;
无毛视频� Internal medicine providers, who see only adults; and
无毛视频� Pediatric providers, who focus on children’s health.
Primary care providers get to know their patients, their history, and their family history; can recommend screenings; and can identify and treat many minor problems before they become major ones.
For patients experiencing any undiagnosed symptoms or medical concerns, a WVU Medicine primary care provider should be the first point of contact for improved well-being.
They provide a variety of services to help improve and maintain health, including but not limited to:
无毛视频� Physical exams
无毛视频� Vaccinations
无毛视频� Routine lab work
无毛视频� Management of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and high blood pressure
无毛视频� Cancer screenings
无毛视频� Well-child exams
无毛视频� Diagnosis of common and complex diseases of the respiratory, digestive, and vascular systems
“It is important, especially as you get older, to come in and get regular check-ups, vaccinations, lab work, and cancer screenings so you can catch any issues before they become more serious,” Darrell Donley, MD, WVU Medicine Waynesburg Outpatient Center Internal Medicine physician, said. “Having a primary care provider can also be helpful when you aren’t feeling well, so you can avoid a visit to the emergency department or urgent care.”
