About the department

Family Medicine and Community Health is the medical specialty that provides continuing and comprehensive health care for you and your family. We specialize in you and serve as your "medical home.” Working with patient-centered team members based in our outpatient offices, your personal physician will provide you and your family with advanced, comprehensive health care.

Should your condition require hospitalization, we have a team of physicians around the clock in Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, who will be there for you and coordinate your care.

Our physicians and clinical staff see patients in a wide variety of settings, including the Family Medicine at Monument Square office in downtown New Brunswick and Family Medicine at Monroe.

Our Home Visit Service will provide primary care ranging from the "routine physical" to care of multiple complex and serious conditions. This will be accomplished via examination, X-ray, EKG, blood work and urinalysis, as well as ultrasound studies, all done in the comfort of your own home. The Home Visit Service also works closely with area nursing agencies, therapists, social workers, podiatrists and dentists to provide comprehensive care that includes managing medications, wound care, hospice care and hospital follow-up.

In the event hospitalization is needed, the Home Visit Service works closely with your and the rest of the area's best doctors and hospitals. We will make your transition as smooth as possible, while ensuring you get the highest quality inpatient care the region has to offer.

Hospitalist Service physicians collaborate with other members of the hospital team assisting in coordinating patients' care--both while patients are in the hospital, as well as preparing them for any outpatient care that's needed. Patients are admitted to the hospital, navigated through the health care system, and discharged back to their primary care doctors' care. If they do not have a primary care physician, they will receive a recommendation for follow-up and direction to a primary care physician. The staff comprises physicians, advanced practice nurses (APNs) and physicians assistants (PAs). Currently the group consists of:
  • 24 physicians
  • 11 APNs
  • One PA
