Primary Care

Our Department of Medicine offers adults over 18 a wide range of high quality primary and specialty medical services to ensure patient satisfaction and optimal health.

In addition to our comprehensive medical services, Gouverneur offers several wellness programs that focus on healthy living and chronic disease management. These include asthma care, diabetes management, weight management, nutritional counseling and smoking cessation programs.
