From Cathleen S. Hood, MD

Empowering patients to take an active role in decision making regarding their preventive and treatment options is the cornerstone of our practice

Welcome to Primary Care Partnership, the result of many years in the practice of medicine and contemplating how it could be provided in a calmer, more caring, and complete way - “partnering” with patients to help them achieve and maintain health.

Our services  include outpatient primary care (physical exams and follow up appointments), minor diagnostic and surgical procedures, minor cosmetic surgical procedures, acute care for illness and injury (same day appointments always available ), and coordination of alternative and complementary practices.

As a primary care practice, we are the common thread linking all ancillary services our patients may need. We have aligned ourselves with many specialists/professionals throughout the area and will refer you to those services as needed. We also offer many onsite products and services  designed  to make it possible for you to receive many different levels of care in the familiar and comfortable setting of our office.

If you need inpatient care at any time, the hospitalists at Charlton Memorial or St. Anne's Hospital in Fall River will manage your care while in the hospital. These are doctors who specialize in the  care of inpatients exclusively. They will keep us apprised of your condition, providing timely copies of all studies and procedures done while in the hospital. In addition, they provide a written report of the hospitalization upon your discharge so that we can resume your care.

I hope that we can meet your healthcare needs promptly and efficiently, and  that our philosophy of mutual respect will be evident in every interaction with our office. We welcome you as a member of our partnership for health and well-being.
