Primary Care

Primary care includes health promotion, disease prevention, health maintenance, counseling, patient education, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses.

Our primary care team of clinicians serves as the patient’s first point of entry into the health care system and as the continuing focal point for all needed health care services. The primary care team provides patients with ready access to their own personal clinician or to an established back-up clinician when the primary clinician is not available.

Our Primary care team provides patient advocacy in the health care system to accomplish cost-effective care by coordination of health care services. Primary care promotes effective communication with patients and encourages the role of the patient as a partner in health care.
