Your Medical Home

Your Medical Home is a team-based model of health care, led by your Primary Care Physician (PCP), to ensure comprehensive, coordinated medical care with the goal of obtaining and maintaining better health and wellness. With your overall health as the focal point, your medical home team, made up of your PCP, nurses, and other medical staff, provide you with the necessary care when and where you need it.

Your Primary Care Physician – Your First Line of Defense

In any non-urgent medical situation, your first call should always be to your Primary Care Physician (PCP), prior to visiting an urgent care center or the emergency room. As the quarterback of your health care, your PCP knows your health and history better than anyone else and can evaluate your symptoms and advise you on the best course of action to treat your medical condition.

Your health and convenience are important to us, which is why we offer you access to:

• Same-day primary care appointments available in Middletown, Goshen, Monroe, Newburgh, Rock Hill, West Nyack, Stony Point and Suffern
• Extended hours available: Monday – Thursday 7:30AM–7:30PM, Friday 7:30AM–5:30PM, and Saturday 9AM–3PM
• Providers available 24/7 to answer your health-related questions
• 24/7 access to make appointments, request prescription refills or request a return call from a provider

Coordinated Care When and Where You Need It

When acute conditions or evaluations need attention outside of regular hours, Crystal Run’s Urgent Care ensures you have health care options whenever you need them. By calling your primary care provider first, they can help you determine your best option for care based on your symptoms and medical history. For issues that arise after hours, our on-call physician is able to communicate with the urgent care or emergency room staff and relay any vital medical information that might save you time, and ensure that you receive the highest quality care.

Hospital Medicine at Crystal Run Healthcare

Should you require admission to the hospital, our Crystal Run hospitalists are on site at Orange Regional and Catskill Regional Medical Centers, and at St. Anthony Community Hospital. Our hospitalists will coordinate your treatment within the hospital and will have full access to your shared Electronic Health Records (EHR), vital in avoiding errors and ensuring that your existing conditions and medications do not conflict with your care during your hospital stay.
