Every patient receives individualized attention from our team of geriatric-trained providers, under the medical direction of Dr. J. Albert Avila, MD, FACEP, FAAEM — an emergency-medicine specialist with decades of experience in acute and long-term care.

Our model is proactive, not reactive. We identify risks early, coordinate medications, and maintain consistent contact with facility nursing teams and families.

All information — from blood pressure logs to lab results — lives in a shared, secure electronic medical record (EMR).

This means every CFGC provider, CFUC clinician, and hospital partner has real-time access to a patient’s health data, creating unmatched continuity and accuracy.

Our clinicians visit partner facilities regularly for preventive and wellness care and are available on demand for urgent evaluations.

From chronic condition management to acute symptom checks, care happens right where patients live — minimizing disruptions and maximizing comfort.

When a higher level of care is required, patients receive priority access at The Center for Urgent Care, where they benefit from:

• Full laboratory testing and same-day imaging (X-ray, EKG, CT scans)
• IV fluids, medications, and breathing treatments
• Minor procedures and wound care

This partnership allows us to treat most conditions immediately, avoiding unnecessary ER visits while keeping families informed at every step.

For patients who need short-term IV therapy or closer observation, treatment can often continue directly at CFUC, avoiding hospital admission altogether.

If hospitalization becomes necessary, we handle direct admissions with our trusted local hospitals,  bypassing crowded ERs, and stay in contact with hospitalists to ensure smooth discharge and recovery.

When specialized expertise is needed, Dr. Avila and our team coordinate referrals to the area’s most respected specialists in cardiology, orthopedics, pulmonology, and more — all within the same integrated medical ecosystem.
