What to know about primary care

A primary care provider (PCP) is a medical professional that manages all aspects of your health. Our providers have extensive training and experience in everyday medical issues, including acute illnesses like colds and flu and chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

As primary care providers, our team also provides comprehensive preventive services like annual physicals and routine screenings for chronic diseases.

We can also evaluate your mental health to identify anxiety, depression, and other disorders in the earliest stages.

Benefits of working with a primary care provider

Building a relationship with a primary care provider offers many advantages for your health and wellness, including:

1.Strengthens the foundation of health

When you work with a primary care provider, you have an opportunity to build a strong foundation for your future health. Our providers work with you in different ways over time to help you achieve your wellness goals, so you can remain healthy and independent.

2. Personalized medical attention

As our providers get to understand your medical history and existing health, they create care plans based on your individual goals. We can recommend strategies for weight loss or diet improvements that align on your specific and unique health needs.

3. Reduced risk for hospitalization

Primary care providers can often catch potential health issues before you have symptoms, so your risk for needing expensive therapies and hospitalization is greatly reduced.

4. Savings of time and money

You also don’t have to deal with the hassles and expense of the hospital emergency room if you become sick or experience an injury.

Your primary care provider can address illnesses and injuries and also refer you to a specialist if necessary, so you don’t have to wait too long for the treatment you need.
