OXFORD INTERNAL MEDICINE HEALING THE COMMUNITY

ONE PATIENT AT A TIME

By Maya Martin

B

aptist Medical Group, a subsidiary of Baptist Memorial Health Care system, is making great strides in the field of health care through its local clinics. By providing preventative care and introducing new providers to the Mid-South region, it's able to address growing needs in the greater community.

“I think the best part of it is taking care of a patient,” said Benjie Lane, Regional Director of Baptist Medical Group North Mississippi.

“The goal of any health care provider is to provide the best care for patients and improve their overall health.”

Although Lane has recently taken up the regional director position within the past two months, he has worked within the Baptist Health Care system for over 10 years and has seen the benefits of its placement in the community.

With more than 600 specialists and primary care providers, including physicians, nurse practitioners and more, Baptist Medical Group is able to offer patients local and

regional health care options across more than 30 specialties that include cardiology, pediatrics, oncology, orthopedic, internal medicine and many more.

One of Baptist Medical Group’s locations, Oxford Internal Medicine Clinic hosts a team of clinically trained and procedurally competent physicians who provide high-quality, safe and cost-effective care for adults.

According to Lane, the group and Oxford Internal Medicine Clinic are just an extension of the Baptist Health Care system and its aims to

arly detection is crucial to overcoming serious illnesses. Preventive care is something parents prioritize when raising children, but it’s a crucial component of healthy living as an adult as well.

Health professionals recommend various age-specific screenings and tests, and these can serve as a guideline for individuals as

they navigate adulthood. The following age-specific health screening recommendations, courtesy of Beaumont Health and Columbia Doctors Primary Care, can serve as an preventive care guideline, though doctors may advise patients to get more frequent screenings depending on their medical histories.

18 TO 39 YEARS OLD • Cholesterol: A cholesterol

check should occur around age 20, then every five years until age 35.

Afterward it can occur annually.

• Skin screening: An annual full body screening will identify any suspicious moles or skin lesions.

• Cervical cancer: Women in this age range should receive a Pap smear every three years and an annual pelvic exam.

• Breast exam: Self-examination of the breasts and examina-

treat the greater community through its motto of "healing, preaching and teaching."

“Our Oxford Internal Medicine Clinic is an academic clinic with 12 resident physicians serving as primary care physicians while completing their Internal Medicine specialty training under the close supervision of 3 Board Certified Internal Medicine physicians -- all working closely together to provide first class care for our patients,” said Lane. “Our physicians offer women’s wellness and preventative care, treat acute and chronic healthcare conditions such as blood pressure, diabetes, and weight loss.”

Lane emphasizes the importance of preventive care in community health which is key to a better quality of life and life expectancy.

“There should be more focus on preventative medicine, which is like your annual wellness visits and following up regularly with your prima-

ry care provider,” said Lane.

Internal Medicine Clinic patients are also served by highly trained resident physicians of the Internal Medicine Residency program at Baptist Memorial Hospital–North Mississippi and are offered a well-rounded, unopposed, and unique training experience for physicians in a setting that is second-to-none.

Introduced in 2021, the three-year program that would introduce 12 physicians per year to the region and put their specialties to use for the community’s benefit. The residents divide their time between general internal medicine and subspecialties such as the ICU, ER and outpatient clinics.

Lane said the key to the clinic is its accessibility to patients and its commitment to giving patients the on-going care they need.

“It’s not just that initial encounter,” he said. “We do see patients for three

to six months for their follow-ups based on what is recommended by their attending physician.”

Baptist Medical Group and the Oxford Internal Medicine’s are very valuable to the community, said Lane.

Its physicians are open to help anybody who is in need of their services.

Oxford Internal Medicine Clinic is located at 81 Ed Perry Boulevard Suite 107. The clinic is open Monday through Friday. Patients are able to schedule appointments by calling the clinic directly at 662-636-5290. For more information or to view other clinics in Baptist Medical Group, visit www.baptistdoctors.org.

PATIENT GUIDE

VISITOR GUIDELINES

Checking into the hospital can be an intimidating experience for some. Follow these guidelines to ensure your stay at Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi goes as smoothly as possible.

First things first:

Ask your doctor what will happen during your hospital visit. Ask for a simpler explanation for anything you don’t understand.

Select an “advocate” to help you during your hospital stay. You need a trusted family member or friend to assist you, in your room, during stressful moments, remembering things you can’t and making sure your wishes are respected.

PREPARE A MEDICAL INFORMATION FILE

Be prepared to share your medical history with the doctors and nurses who will be caring for you. An at-home medical file is a convenient way to gather the documents that you may need if hospitalized: • Medical directive documents, including a living will and durable power of attorney for health care decision-making.

• A list of your current medications, including any over-the-counter drugs, herbal medicines and alternative products including the dose, frequency and reason for taking each.

• A list of all your allergies, including food, environmental and medication allergies.

• Contact family members to arrange a ride home, unless you will be traveling by ambulance (hospital staff will handle that).

• Don’t hesitate or be afraid to tell the hospital staff if you’re in pain.

• Don’t wait to report pain. Pain is much easier to control when it first begins than
