TRAVEL MEDICINE
8560 Cook St. Appointments 1:30pm-5:00pm Monday At Cabarrus Family Medicine, we believe in servant leadership. For years, our physicians and physician assistants have traveled to the developing world to take care of those less fortunate. From these trips, we recognized a need in our community for medical services for those planning to go overseas.
Maybe you are taking your dream vacation. Or perhaps God has called you to the mission field. Come see us 6-8 weeks before your trip, so that you can receive the appropriate vaccinations, travel prescriptions, and information on how to keep yourself safe during your trip. As family doctors, we know your history and health problems, and we can take care of you when you return home.
Charles W. Rhodes, MD, FAAFP "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'" Matthew 25:40 (NIV) |
The chance of a traveler getting sick is up to 50%, depending where you go. You not only have to worry about common problems such as traveler's diarrhea and the flu, but also diseases you may have read about and never seen: malaria, typhoid, or dengue fever.
