How Primary Care Benefits You

A primary care clinic serves as your health headquarters: the first place you turn to for help and reliable information. Your primary care team knows your personal and family medical history, which means they can make informed recommendations for tests and treatments. You receive holistic care that keeps you well in both mind and body.

Helping You Stay Well Between Visits

Primary care isn't only about seeing a physician during appointments. It involves ongoing support to help you manage your health all the time. We monitor your condition, follow up on test results and provide guidance on preventing health problems. We work together to ensure you get the services you need, even when you're not at the clinic.

Previsit Planning

Previsit planning helps make your appointments more effective. By doing lab tests and assessments before you arrive, we identify issues early and prepare to address them when we see you. This means complete, customized care focused on what matters most for your health.

Prenatal Care

If you’re pregnant or planning to become pregnant, prenatal and delivery care is offered by family medicine physicians, advanced practice providers or nurse midwives at many of our family medicine clinics. Your family medicine provider may deliver your baby, or they may transition your care to an obstetrician later in your pregnancy. After you give birth, your family medicine care team will provide postpartum and infant care to help you and your baby enjoy a healthy start.
