Overview:
As the new year begins, Dr. Saleh Musleh, a primary care provider at the Worth Street Health Center, advises Dallas families to prioritize their health by scheduling a preventive care check-up. Primary care focuses on prevention, which can reduce the time, stress, and cost associated with urgent care or emergency room visits later on. The Worth Street Health Center offers whole-person, whole-family care, including on-site laboratory and pharmacy services, telehealth appointments, and medications shipped directly to patients' homes. The organization accepts private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, and offers care on a sliding fee scale based on income for those without insurance.
As the new year is in full swing, many Dallas families are setting goals: saving money, spending more time together, or building healthier routines. According to Dr. Saleh Musleh, DO, a primary care provider at the Worth Street Health Center, part of Prism Health North Texas, prioritizing your health should be at the top of that list.
“The start of a new year is a natural reset,” Dr. Musleh says. “It’s the perfect time to check in on your health, catch up on preventive care, and talk through your goals and concerns with a provider who knows you.”
With more than a decade of experience in primary care, and eight years practicing hospital medicine at Baylor Scott & White Health, Dr. Musleh brings deep clinical expertise and a passion for long-term, relationship-based care to his patients across Dallas.
Why Primary Care Matters
After years in hospital medicine treating acute conditions, Dr. Musleh says he was drawn to primary care for a simple reason: continuity.
“In primary care, you get to see progress,” he explained. “You build a relationship. You help prevent problems before they become emergencies.”
At the start of the year, that prevention can include screenings, immunizations, medication reviews, and conversations about lifestyle habits. Those early check-ins often reduce the time, stress, and cost associated with urgent care or emergency room visits later on.
For patients who haven’t seen a provider in years, Dr. Musleh offers reassurance. “You aren’t alone, and it’s never too late to start. We meet patients where they are and move forward together.”
Whole-Person, Whole-Family Care
At Prism Health North Texas, “whole person, whole family care” is more than a phrase, it’s a practice. Providers consider physical health, mental health, family responsibilities, and everyday stressors that affect well-being.
The Worth Street Health Center offers on-site laboratory and pharmacy services, allowing patients to see their provider, complete testing, and fill prescriptions all in one visit. Care is available for all ages from children to seniors,which makes it easier for families to coordinate appointments under one roof.
For added convenience, telehealth appointments are available, and medications can usually be shipped directly to patients’ homes. Pharmacy staff also work closely with patients to explain prescriptions and identify cost-saving options.
Inclusive Care, Close to Home
Dr. Musleh is especially committed to serving the LGBTQ+ community through affirming and inclusive care. “Everyone deserves to feel respected and understood in their healthcare experience,” he said.
Healthcare policies and coverage options can shift from year to year, but Prism Health North Texas helps patients navigate those changes. The organization accepts private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, and offers care on a sliding fee scale based on income for those without insurance.
“Our financial navigators are here to answer all your questions,” Dr. Musleh confirms.
