What is acute care?
Urgency Matters. When you are over 6o, waiting too long to seek medical attention when you're unwell may be akin to witnessing a train crash in slow motion. Seek care promptly. Don’t let the train derail.
Acute care involves medical services to diagnose and treat acute illnesses like colds and flu and minor injuries. These conditions typically require only short-term care to help you achieve a full recovery.
The Three Rivers AMA providers also offer acute care treatments for chronic conditions like asthma, which causes shortness of breath, or allergies that cause respiratory issues that require urgent medical attention.
The Three Rivers AMA providers also offer a variety of onsite testing services, including lab blood draws, to confirm your diagnosis, and customize a care plan to help you feel better and prevent the condition from worsening.
Acute care visits are available in the office and the providers can also evaluate your symptoms through an online telehealth platform if you’re unable to travel to the office.
As a patient at Three Rivers Area Medical Associates, you will also have access to special programs that are focused on keeping you healthy and providing support for your independent daily living.

The Best Plan for Your Health
The Best Plan is more than just healthcare! Studies have proven that only about 20% of your health is due to the health care you receive. The rest is due to other factors. Whether it's access to nutritious food, safe housing, medications, or regular medical appointments, these factors contribute to better overall health outcomes.
