Healing Begins Close to Home
Skyler Worthington takes pride in being able to get his primary care patients in quickly for care at Gritman’s Potlatch Family Medicine clinic.
A Physician Assistant, Worthington sees patients in Potlatch but also from surrounding communities in Latah and Whitman counties.
“I enjoy being able to take time with patients and come up with solutions to their problems,” he said.
Worthington preaches the importance of an annual wellness visit for his patients so they can stay on top of chronic conditions, following up with additional care and preventing concerns from getting more serious.
“They help prevent emergency department trips, surgeries, and most chronic problems that are preventable,” he said. “Most of the problems we see, we see the complications of, if people wait too long.”
Finding the right primary care provider is an important decision. A member of the Gritman system, Worthington is able to connect with specialists very quickly, and get patients to those specialists in a timely manner. He is one of more than two dozen providers who are part of our primary care provider network through the Gritman clinic system in Moscow, Potlatch, Kendrick and Troy.
Moscow: personalized care from multiple locations
Dr. Robin Sautter, a Family Medicine and OB provider, treats patients from Gritman’s Moscow Family Medicine Downtown clinic and said it’s vital that her patients have access to specialty services right here in the community.
“That’s why I’m always referring my patients to the Gritman Medical Center system because I find it’s easy for them to get plugged into the system, get those surgeries quickly,” she said. “And then it’s easy for me to follow up because I know exactly what kind of care they were receiving.”
Patients in Moscow have the option to schedule appointments with the primary care providers at our Moscow Family Medicine Downtown, Gritman Internal Medicine and Moscow Family Medicine Westside clinics. Same-day, walk-in care is available through our QuickCARE clinic at 2500 W. A St. in Moscow.
