Clinical services, including well check visits, sick visits and physicals, are available for patients up to 21 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Primary care services have been a longtime goal at the institute. Drs. Herrera and Chuku both have special interest in caring for individuals with disabilities and complex health care needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Primary care clients also can be seamlessly connected to other MMI services, including dentistry, audiology and multiple therapies. Families also can see additional integrated clinical support through social workers, interpreters, registered dietitians and psychologists in conjunction with their primary care visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEverything built at MMI was built intentionally for the patients,\u201d Dr. Chuku said. \u201cThe infrastructure, the medical staff, the support system in place, it has been built to serve the people that MMI is made for. When people come here, they will receive the best care possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/mmi\/services\/medical\/ped-pcp.html\">online<\/a>.
