From newborns to seniors, and from the common cold to the ongoing management of chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease, you can depend on the compassionate and expert care you’ll receive at Lighthouse Medical Center.
When you choose to receive your health care at Lighthouse Medical Center, you also gain benefits like:
INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE

Every type of physical exam is available at Lighthouse Medical Center. They provide sports physicals, school physicals, and pre-employment evaluations.
They also offer continuous care throughout the rigorous schedule of well-child visits that ensure your child is healthy and meeting developmental milestones.
