What is primary care?

When you need to see a physician, primary care is your first point of contact for your health care. Primary care focuses on health and wellness for the whole body. 

When you visit the CentralMed Urgent Care and Primary Care team, they learn your health history, find out about your wellness goals, and discuss any health concerns you might have. They can also diagnose and treat your health issues.

Over the years, you establish a relationship with your primary care provider, who knows your health history and helps you stay well throughout your life.

Why is primary care important?

As the main source of your health care, your partnership with your primary care provider at CentralMed Urgent Care and Primary Care gives you better access to health care, improved outcomes, and lower costs. 

For example, if you don’t feel well, you should call your primary care physician instead of going to the emergency room. The team can give you the care you need while having your health history on record, which is an added convenience. They also have the training and expertise to treat your condition.
