Stonecreek
Family Physicians
Continuing a 17-year history of quality medical care
Stonecreek Family Physicians opened in 1999 with four doctors who understood the need
to make patients comfortable as well as the need for efficiency. Additional doctors joined
over the years, and the practice added an extension to its building in 2012 as well as two
urgent care facilities. As the practice grew, so did its staff.
Keeping Up With the Times
Today Stonecreek Family Physicians consists of 115 member staff,
including the core group of physicians, physician assistants, and
nurse practitioners as well as employees who work in the lab,
x-ray area, and office.
With all the transformations that took place as the practice devel-
oped, administrator Jennifer Haefke says, “We don’t anticipate
any major changes in the near future.” One notable exception is
the office servers. Haefke notes, “We’re always reevaluating our
equipment to keep up with changing technology and space. We
just consolidated six servers into one virtual server about a year
and a half ago, but typically upgrade every five years.”
Caring for the Community
Stonecreek Family Physicians is a family practice, so, notes Hae-
fke, “Patients include pediatrics, geriatrics, and everything in
between.” The practice offers a wide range of standard services
including physicals, preventative care, diagnostic testing, injury
care, dermatology, gynecological services, immunizations, aller-
gy injections, newborn care, and occupational medicine. It also
provides counseling, minor surgery, and geriatric consulting.
Haefke notes that the staff strives for excellence in customer
service, and that physicians maintain board certification even
though doing so isn’t required to maintain the practice. She
says, “Our physicians continue their education on a regular
basis, and are dedicated to patient care.” In addition to continu-
ing medical training, the practice emphasizes the following
guidelines for patients:
• Continuity of care through a primary physician
• Accessibility with a physician on call 24/7
• Advocacy for patients within the medical system
• Quality care through referrals and attention to national
practice care guidelines
Employees appreciate the shared dedication to patient care, a
good environment in which staff works well together, and high
morale. Each employee is valued for their dedication to the team
and their role in caring for patients.
In addition to caring for their patients at Stonecreek Family Phy-
sicians, several physicians volunteer at a local community clinic
