Enhancing Patient Convenience and Expanding Services at Somerset Primary Care

At Somerset Primary Care, we are committed to continuously improving our services to meet the evolving needs of our community. We are pleased to share some exciting developments that aim to enhance your healthcare experience.

New Saturday Morning Office Hours for Your Convenience
Starting November 8th, we will be offering every other Saturday morning office hours by appointment. This new schedule is designed to provide greater flexibility for our patients, making it easier to access care without disrupting your weekday routines. Whether you need a follow-up, minor urgent care, or routine check-up, our Saturday hours are here to serve you better.

Launching the Smith Island Service Boat “Hygeia”
This week marks an exciting milestone with the launch of our Smith Island service boat, named “Hygeia” — after the Greek goddess of health and healing. This vessel will enable us to bring primary care services directly to the residents of Smith Island, ensuring that healthcare is accessible even in the most remote locations. Our goal is to bridge the gap and provide seamless, high-quality care to all members of our community.

Advanced Point-of-Care Viral Testing
In our ongoing effort to provide rapid, accurate diagnostics, we now offer point-of-care testing for Covid-19, RSV, Flu, and Rhino virus. This means you can receive results during your visit, allowing for quicker decision-making and treatment. This service is especially crucial during cold and flu season, helping us to better manage infectious diseases and keep our community safe.

State-of-the-Art Cognitive Testing for Memory Issues
We are also proud to introduce cutting-edge cognitive testing for patients experiencing memory concerns. Early detection is key to managing cognitive decline, and our new testing protocols provide precise assessments to guide appropriate treatment plans. Your brain health is a top priority, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
