Patient Care
About Us
Members of the Department of Family Medicine care for patients at several main locations: our Family Medicine medical office in Washington, D.C., our Family Medicine residency program at Fort Lincoln Family Medicine Center, and the Georgetown University Student Health Center. It is by working with these sites that the Department provides family-centered health care to individuals and their communities and teaches family medicine, primary care, and community health to medical students, residents, and other health professionals.
