We created vanguard Medical Group as a regional primary group practice in January 2012 through a merger of three established, well-known and successful primary care practices in northern New Jersey (Changebridge Medical Associates, Cranford Family Practice and Town Medical Associates). In 2014, two additional practice sites, at North Haledon (formerly High Mountain Health) and Lincoln Park, joined Vanguard. Many of the founding physicians have practiced for over 20 years in their respective communities and are leaders in their local healthcare delivery systems. The driving force to develop a larger regional primary care practice was the recognition that the healthcare system was rapidly changing in ways that did not support small or solo independent physician practices. And yet, although growth is an imperative, the physicians in Vanguard believe that a strong culture guided by a shared vision and governed by shared values must be at the core of this new organization. Vanguard physicians have been at the forefront of primary care in New Jersey, and our staff includes past presidents of the New Jersey Academy of Family Physicians, residency directors, family practice department chairpersons at our hospitals and faculty of our New Jersey medical schools. In the future, we intend to continue to expand our primary care base, while also complementary services including specialty care.

Diabetes usually doesn’t appear overnight. In many cases, it develops slowly and quietly over time. That’s why screening is so important. The American Diabetes Association recommends diabetes screening starting at age 35, even if you don’t have any symptoms.

You may be at higher risk if you:
· Are overweight
· Have a family history of diabetes
· Are physically inactive
· Had gestational diabetes

The good news? Early detection can make a big difference. With lifestyle changes and medical guidance, many people can prevent or delay diabetes. A simple screening today can help protect your health for years to come.
