The main function of the Center is to provide primary care services. Primary care services consist of but are not limited to: acute care, long-term care, urgent/emergency care, diagnostic services, rehabilitation, community outreach, and wellness.

However, in response to demonstrated need, the Center commits itself to obtaining the resources necessary for the provision of new services.

The addition of secondary medical staff specialties will be considered in response to identified needs. To this end, the Center will collaborate with the medical staff in recruitment efforts.
