What is Primary Care?
You may know Primary Care by a few names such as “family practice”, “general medicine”, or just “my main doctor”. Your primary care providers and their teams are the hub for your medical attention. They address most of your personal health care needs and develop a personal, long-term relationship with their patients. When necessary, they refer you to a specialist but do not provide specialist care. Primary Care is:
- person-centered
- team-based
- community-aligned
- integrated and accessible
…and why is it important for you?
In a time of rising costs and confusing insurance plans, many people are left wondering why getting better can feel like a pain. A recent national study found that primary care is the only discipline of medicine where a greater supply is equated to improved population health, longer lives, and greater equity. Investing in your primary care is an investment that pays back in quality time with your friends and family doing the things you enjoy the most!
