Establishing a Primary Care Physician
You’ve probably heard the term “primary care”, but many of us don’t really know what that means. Primary care covers prevention, wellness, chronic condition management, and treatment for a variety of health concerns, whether physical, behavioral, or social. A primary care physician looks at the complete picture of health and considers the patient’s family background and health history.

Think of a primary care provider as a “general practitioner,” or your personal doctor. They provide everyday health care and act as a “home base” for your overall wellness. Your provider can help you manage chronic conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes. Primary care providers also give referrals to specialists when you need additional medical expertise to treat a specific condition.
