Creating a Healthier You

Building a long-term, ongoing relationship with a Primary Care Provider can result in significant health benefits, including:

  • More accurate diagnoses – A provider who sees you regularly is more likely to notice changes in your health, leading to better diagnoses of any health conditions you make experience.
  • Lower costs – By seeing your provider on a regular basis and contacting them first when you have health concern, you’ll likely have fewer hospital visits. If you are having a medical emergency, dial 911.
  • Staying healthier – Your provider can help you manage any chronic conditions you may have and make personalized treatment plans to improve your health.
  • Trust – A Primary Care Provider who sees you regularly and knows your medical history can make you feel comfortable discussing any medical concerns.
  • Referral to specialists – If you need to see a specialist for your health condition, your provider will be able to refer you to a specialist to fit your unique health care needs.
