About This Location: 

The Aurora Family Medicine clinic at Rivercenter Drive is a full-service primary care practice offering preventive, acute, and chronic care for patients of all ages, with strong integration into a broader specialty and hospital network for coordinated, whole-person care.

1. Full-spectrum primary care for all ages
This clinic functions as a “first point of contact” in the healthcare system, providing care for children, adults, and seniors. Providers are trained in general medicine and manage a wide range of everyday health needs.

2. Strong focus on preventive and routine care
A big part of the clinic’s role is keeping patients healthy through:

• Annual physicals and wellness visits

• Immunizations

• Screenings and early detection

• Lifestyle counseling (diet, fitness)

3. Chronic and acute care management
The clinic treats both short-term illnesses (e.g., infections, minor injuries) and long-term conditions like diabetes, asthma, heart disease, and hypertension.

4. Coordinated, integrated care
Because it’s inside a large Aurora Health Center, the clinic can easily:

• Refer patients to specialists (cardiology, endocrinology, etc.)

• Coordinate care across multiple services

• Provide access to on-site labs, imaging, urgent care, and specialty clinics

5. Family-oriented, continuous care relationship
Family medicine providers typically build long-term relationships with patients, managing their health over time and across different needs, from pediatric visits to geriatric care.

6. Broad service scope
In addition to general medical care, services often include:

• Behavioral/mental health support

• Well-child visits and school physicals

• Women’s health basics (in coordination with OB/GYN)

• Minor joint, skin, and common condition treatment
