What is primary care?
Primary care is your main form of health care. It’s your first and last point of contact in managing your overall health and wellness. Your primary care provider serves as your trusted partner in preventive care, diagnosis, treatment, and coordination of any specialty care you may need.
They are equipped to address a wide range of health concerns and can help you navigate the health care system, advocate for your needs, and make informed decisions about your health.
What does primary care include?
Primary care includes a wide range of services, including:
Annual physicals
During an annual physical, your primary care provider conducts comprehensive examinations to assess your overall health, screen for potential medical issues, and provide preventive care recommendations tailored to your needs.
School physicals
School physicals ensure that you or your child meets the health requirements necessary for school enrollment or participation in sports activities, including assessments of physical fitness and immunization status.
Women’s and men’s health
Primary care addresses the specific health needs of women and men, including reproductive health screenings, contraceptive counseling, prostate exams, and screenings for conditions such as breast and testicular cancer.
Injury care
The team offers timely evaluation and treatment for minor cuts, sprains, and more severe injuries requiring immediate attention.
Sick visits
Sick visits ensure you receive prompt medical care when you're feeling unwell due to acute illnesses such as colds, flu, infections, or gastrointestinal issues.
Mental health care
The team provides compassionate care for mental health challenges like depression and anxiety. Along with medication, nutritional counseling, and lifestyle recommendations, they offer letters for emotional support animals (ESAs) and other behavioral health services.
Work and school notes
If you have an illness or injury, and it interferes with your ability to perform your responsibilities at work or school, your care team can write a note to document your condition and provide necessary accommodations.
What can I expect from a primary care visit?
