Quality health care means getting the care you need when you need it. Getting quality care can help you stay healthy or recover when you become sick. Choosing and establishing a relationship with a Primary Care Provider (PCP) is the key to receiving quality healthcare. Meeting with them annually to check your health status and discuss your health issues is one of the most important things you can do for your well-being.

PCP FAQ’s
Who is a Primary Care Provider?
A PCP is a healthcare provider - a Physician, Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant (PA) - who specializes in internal medicine or family medicine. An internal medicine provider deals with prevention, diagnosis and treatment of adults. A family primary care provider specializes in the care and treatment for children as well as adults.
Why do I need a PCP, especially if I don’t get sick?
Prevention is the best way to stay healthy. Your PCP can coordinate all of your health care in one place. Individuals with an established relationship with their PCP have better management of chronic conditions, lower healthcare costs and higher satisfaction of care.
