One step closer to better overall health

Your primary care provider is​​​ the physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant who provides your basic health care.

You develop an ongoing relationship with your personal provider, who:

  • Takes care of you when you are sick or need medical attention.
  • Gives you regular check-ups and immunizations (shots) to stay well.
  • Helps you manage diseases and other conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and asthma.
  • Answers your questions about your health care.
  • Gives you ​information to help you prevent illness.​

It is often easier and less expensive to prevent a medical problem than it is to treat one.
