Why should you establish care with a primary care provider?
Establishing care with a primary care provider gives you one convenient place for your everyday health needs. Primary care providers focus on whole-person health, which means they can treat a little bit of everything—from routine checkups and vaccines to questions about symptoms, wellness, and prevention. By seeing the same provider regularly, you build a relationship with someone who knows your health history, understands your baseline, and can spot changes or concerns early. This helps prevent small issues from becoming serious and keeps you feeling your best.

A primary care provider also supports you in managing ongoing conditions. They coordinate your care, order routine tests, ensure your treatments work for you, and connect you with specialists when you need them. Because referrals often start with primary care, having an established provider makes it easier to navigate the healthcare system and get the right care at the right time. In short, your primary care provider is your partner in staying healthy—today and over the long term.
