Cabarrus Family Medicine is a unique multi-clinic group that provides comprehensive family healthcare while maintaining a personal, small-office atmosphere. Your health and that of your family are our primary concerns.
Committed to excellence, Cabarrus Family Medicine includes the faculty and residents of the Cabarrus Family Medicine Residency Program, which plays an integral role in the education of our future doctors. The innovative role of your primary care physician as both a healer and a teacher, means that your family will receive state-of-the-art healthcare in a professional and compassionate manner.
To further our commitment to excellence, Cabarrus Family Medicine also includes Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners who are highly trained health care professionals recognized by the American Medical Association. Working in collaboration with a physician, Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners provide high quality, cost-effective, and individualized care for the lifespan of patient's special needs.
Located in Cabarrus and Stanly counties, our eight clinics are situated in Concord, Mt. Pleasant, Kannapolis, Harrisburg, and Richfield, all convenient locations to suit the needs of our patients. In addition to our family practice centers, we also provide services for mental health needs through psychological and behavioral health located in Concord. Another addition to our clinic network, will be the Sports Medicine and Injury Center, staffed by two family physicians with sports medicine fellowship training and our sports medicine fellow. All of our physicians are on the active medical staff of Carolinas Medical Center – NorthEast in Concord, North Carolina.
On September 1, 2007, Cabarrus Family Medicine officially joined the Carolinas Physicians Network (CPN), a regional network of medical practices operated by Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS). CPN operates some 75 practices in Mecklenburg and surrounding counties. "We are tremendously pleased to have this outstanding group of family physicians, psychologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses and other staff members joining the CHS family," said Joseph G. Piemont, Executive Vice President, Carolinas HealthCare System.
Piemont also cited the important role that CFM fills by providing healthcare leadership, including developing and serving as faculty for the innovative family medicine residency program at Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast. "This program does an excellent job training medical school graduates in family medicine and in particular preparing them for the challenges and rewards of a career in rural and small town family medicine," he said. "The residency program greatly complements the program we have at Carolinas Medical Center, and now there will be many areas for cooperation that will enhance the learning experience for all involved."
L. Allen Dobson, Jr., M.D., President and CEO of Cabarrus Family Medicine, agrees with this assessment. "We began initial discussions with CHS more than a year ago regarding ways for our residency programs to collaborate to meet the future primary care needs of our state. We found that our goals and vision matched extremely well. I see this new arrangement as an excellent opportunity for the two programs to grow."
