At Genesis Medical Associates, Inc., our primary care physicians are concerned not only about your health but also about your well-being. As part of the Genesis family, you will experience dedicated care that emphasizes health promotion, disease prevention, patient education and verifiable quality of treatment.
Genesis physicians are able to provide primary care to families because they understand family responsibilities and family relationships. In addition, through listening and caring, they provide treatment to the whole person.
Our offices are conveniently located throughout the Northern Suburbs of Pittsburgh. We invite you to tour our web site and discover the ongoing and sustainable tradition of quality care.
We at Genesis Medical Associates support without reservation the benefits of following the routine childhood and adult vaccination schedules endorsed by US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
We realize the current increase in cases of measles in the United States and Allegheny County raises concern. The majority of cases of measles outbreaks are in unvaccinated individuals.
If you have completed your childhood vaccination schedule you have a 97% chance of being protected from this virus. There is currently no superior means to protect oneself than completing the two shot measles vaccination series.
If you are uncertain whether you completed the vaccine series there is a blood test that can assess whether you have successfully been vaccinated.
Additional information regarding the spread of the virus, symptoms and how best to protect yourself from measles can be obtained at the centers for disease control website.
Your Genesis physicians are also well versed in symptoms of the virus and the best means to protect yourself and your family from this outbreak. Blood testing and immunization boosters are available within our clinics at this time to treat our patients.
Appointments and discussions with your Genesis health care professional on measles and the vaccine are encouraged.
