At 517 Moye Medical Center - Adult and Pediatric Health Care, our philosophy of care is to make it personal. We believe that being healthy is a lot more than finding a doctor when you or someone you love gets sick or injured. It’s about having a primary doctor who knows your health history and sees you at least a few times a year. That relationship is key to achieving optimal health, managing your health over time and receiving more effective care when something just doesn’t “feel right.” 

No matter your age or stage, we’re here to provide the care you need, with services like:

• Adult health maintenance – routine immunizations, women’s health care, health coaching, counseling and Medicare wellness visits
• Care coordination for adolescents and adults with chronic illnesses and special care needs
• Chronic disease management for conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, COPD and kidney disease
• Pediatric well visits – routine immunizations, development screening, hearing and vision screening, sports physicals and more
• Sick visits for adults and children

By combining patient education about lifestyle changes with the use of medication and other devices, we help those living with endocrine disorders reduce symptoms and improve their quality of life.

These tests, along with an examination and review of your child’s medical history, will help us make a diagnosis and develop a personalized plan for ongoing care.

The East Carolina Heart Institute is the first in North Carolina devoted exclusively to education, research, treatment, and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Not all diseases are physical. Mental and emotional issues can severely affect all aspects of your life and can be just as debilitating as a physical disease. ECU Health has behavioral health experts to help tackle issues like depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and personality and mood disorders.

We recognize that every patient comes to us with a different set of problems. That's why we don't work from a standard treatment plan. After carefully examining your needs, we develop a highly personalized treatment plan to get you back to a happy place.

Under the guidance of a physician and licensed therapists, we help manage your medications, provide family support and education and refer you to other services that may be of benefit to you. Depending on your specific condition and location, your treatment may include:

• Individual, group and family sessions
• Exercise, wellness and relaxation therapy
• Community re-entry outings
• Animal-assisted therapy

For senior adults who are having behavioral problems, a special geropsychiatric program is available at ECU Health Roanoke-Chowan Hospital.
