Primary Care
Care that’s right for you
Primary Care Providers (PCPs) guide you on your wellness journey, identify risk factors and coordinate with specialists when illnesses or injuries arise. Primary Care Providers specialize in internal medicine or family medicine. Internal medicine focuses on preventing and treating adult diseases, while family medicine focuses on caring for individuals of all ages.
Our goal is to be your first point of contact and deliver the care that’s right for you. Primary care services offered: prenatal, newborn, pediatric and adolescent care, chronic and acute care, aging patients and transitional care.
Reasons to establish Primary Care
Preventative Health Care
Primary Care Providers provide opportunities for disease prevention and health promotion, as well as early detection of problems. They work to identify health care concerns before they turn into serious health threats, including the management of hereditary chronic illnesses.
Medical Home
Patients can bring a wide range of health problems to their Primary Care Provider for appropriate attention – a place in which patients can expect, in most instances, that their problems will be resolved without referral.
Continuity of Care
Primary Care Providers facilitate an ongoing relationship between their patients and dramatically increase the likelihood that you’ll receive a correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment. By being able to track your health over time, your Primary Care Provider can gain valuable information and provide the best health care for you.
Coordination of Care
Your family doctor knows you best. Primary Care Providers refer you to and help facilitate care with specialists, when necessary, while keeping in mind and communicating your personal health care preferences and goals.
