Why do I need a Primary Care provider?

​

A primary care provider may be a Physician’s Assistant, Nurse Practitioner or Medical Doctor who can help you advocate for yourself and navigate a complex healthcare system.

​

In most cases PCPs will be the first to see signs of changes in your overall health like depression, chronic disease or urgent needs.

​

Their job is to make sure you get the right care at the right time, this could include managing those symptoms or referring you to a specialist, health coaching or wellness program.

​

Your health care should not be one size fits all, having a good relationship with your primary care provider is key to stay up to date on yearly exams, preventative care and complex health concerns.
