The relationship you have with your primary care provider is the key to
your long-term health. Your provider gets to know you and your health
situation.
This understanding between you helps your doctor:
Provide personalized care that works for you
Spot your risk for future health problems
Work with you to get the best results from treatments
Provide high-quality and efficient care
Lower your healthcare costs
What primary care providers do
Primary care providers have training and experience in a wide range of
health issues. These doctors focus on promoting good health, preventing
disease and providing effective treatment when you are sick or hurt. Your
provider will also team up with other healthcare providers to deliver
coordinated care centered on your needs.
Some of the ways your doctor can help you live a longer and healthier life include:
Finding and treating common medical conditions
Guiding you to advanced medical care when needed
Helping you stay on track with health goals like losing weight or quitting smoking
Keeping you informed about health issues affecting your community
Making sure you are up to date on vaccines
Managing chronic conditions, such as asthma, high blood pressure, heart
disease, depression, or diabetes (high blood sugar)
Performing wellness checkups
Recommending health screenings you need based on your age and health history
