Bayhealth to host Meet Your PCP Day Aug. 17

Bayhealth Internal Medicine, Milford, is accepting new patients and will host a Meet Your PCP Day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 17, at 804 N. Dupont Blvd., Milford.

Internal medicine physicians, aka internists, are primary care physicians for patients age 18 and older. They have a complex knowledge of health conditions that affect adults, develop comprehensive care plans for those with multiple conditions, and offer preventive and routine care.

Hosted in a welcoming open house format, Meet Your PCP Day will offer attendees the chance to tour the office, meet and chat with the doctors who practice there, and schedule an appointment. Blood pressure checks and glucose screenings will also be available.

“We hear so often that our community members don’t have primary care physicians, and we want to let them know that we’re here and equipped to fill that void,” said Nwando Tony-Onugu, MD, a third-year internal medicine resident physician who is spearheading the event. “We’re so excited to host Meet Your PCP Day, and for the opportunity to meet and talk with our neighbors. With over 30 doctors who are taking new patients, we're confident they’ll find the right fit with us.”

Registration is required and online only. To complete the short form to register, go to Bayhealth.org/Meet-PCP.

Those who are unable to attend can call Bayhealth Internal Medicine, Milford at 302-725-3557 to schedule an appointment.
