What to know about Black Family Medicine care in Atlanta
Family medicine physicians treat everyone in the household, from newborns through grandparents, in a single practice. That continuity matters: the CDC's 2022 National Health Interview Survey found Black Americans with a consistent primary care relationship had 23 percent fewer ER visits than those without. For families navigating a fragmented healthcare system, one trusted doctor for everyone is efficiency and safety.
Studies in Annals of Family Medicine (Marrast et al., 2014) show Black family physicians are significantly more likely to practice in underserved Black communities, making them a backbone of health equity.
