Primary care is an important part of your overall health and wellness, and seeing your primary care provider regularly can ensure you stay healthy and active in your daily life.
So, what is primary care?
Primary care services include promoting and supporting your overall health, administering preventive care services, counseling and educating you on health-related issues, and diagnosing and treating illnesses. Your primary care provider is your go-to resource for day-to-day health. They can also help you identify health conditions you may not have been aware of and manage those conditions through ongoing care.
