Did you know? Physical activity is part of managing diabetes. It makes you more sensitive to insulin so you process it better, stabilizing blood sugar levels. Learn more about how exercise helps manage diabetes: www.cdc.gov/diabetes/managing/active.html #DebunkingDiabetes #GetActive #Exercise

We wish you a healthy holiday season and a joyful new year! We look forward to seeing you in 2021!

We have made the decision to put the safety, health and well-being of our community’s seniors first. Partners in Primary Care physicians continue to be in direct communication with our Local Health Department, and stand ready to support their work. In support of minimizing community spread of COVID-19, Partners In Primary Care Midtown will be canceling all Community Center events until the end of March. Partners In Primary Care is currently accepting new patients and will co...ntinue to care for seniors in the Kansas City area Monday-Friday from 8:30 am-5:00 pm. As a reminder to our current patients, if you feel sick with fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, please give us a call. We will give you instructions on how to get care without exposing other people to your illness. While sick, avoid contact with people, don’t go out and delay any travel to reduce the possibility of spreading illness to others. See more
