PROFESSIONAL PRACTITIONERS
There are approximately 35-40 family practice and internal medicine physicians from the two local hospitals who are the primary physicians
for our residents. Residents may still see their personal physician as long as he/she completes the required visits at Missouri Slope Lutheran
Care Center. There are physicians on call 24-hours a day/7-days a week at the clinics so in an emergency situation a physician may be reached
at all times.
A local eye doctor visits residents at the care center twice a year.
We are fortunate to have several local physicians perform clinical assessments at our Care Center. An ophthalmologist visits residents four
times a year. In addition, the community's podiatrists make monthly visits.
