The physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants at Family Health Centers are passionately committed to our mission of serving “the health of our entire community through collaboration, patient care and education, to deliver positive patient experiences and to provide access to affordable care,” and to balance new technology and systems of practice with good old-fashioned, patient-centered primary care. It is truly a privilege to work with such an inspiring team.

Dr. Wallace also hosts medical students and residents on rural health rotations in both outpatient and hospital settings, and enjoys the opportunity to pass on his love of rural, full-spectrum family medicine to new physicians.
