- Wellness Visits and Screenings: Through routine checkups and screenings, our physicians can monitor your health, keep track of existing conditions, and alert you to changes.
- Preventative Care: Health monitoring is also essential for preventative care. We can work with you to keep you healthy and safe from serious illnesses and conditions.
- Non-Emergency Illness: If you have a mild fever, earache, or cough, your primary care physician is the person you’ll call upon to help identify the cause.
- Specialist Referrals: If an illness is beyond the scope of general practice, our physicians can write a referral and coordinate treatments across multiple specialties.

Choosing a Primary Care Provider
All individuals, from the healthiest people to those with multiple chronic conditions, need a primary care provider. Your primary care physician knows you, your health history, and your circumstances, so you can trust them to provide reliable care that’s tailored to your needs. When you’re well, your physician keeps you healthy through preventative care. When you’re sick, you immediately know where to turn for treatment. This is why it’s important to select someone you’re comfortable with.
Carthage Area Hospital employs a team of compassionate, skilled providers. They work with residents of local communities to personalize the care of each individual we serve. They’re also passionate about supporting our troops. We provide much-needed healthcare services to both civilian and military personnel stationed at Fort Drum, as well as their children and families.
Insurance and Affordability
At Carthage Area Hospital, we understand medical care can be expensive. That’s why we’ll treat you regardless of your ability to pay, and no one is denied services at our offices. Our Financial Assistance Program offers discounts based on family size and income to help you pay for the treatment you need on a budget you can manage. We also accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance plans.
By providing specialist referrals, we can also make it easier for you to afford those treatments. Many companies require a referral before they will cover specialist testing or visits. Our primary care physicians can provide that referral, protecting you against high medical bills while helping you get the care you need.
