What is "primary care"?
Primary care refers to basic healthcare services provided by healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants. These services are typically the first care patients receive when looking for medical help for common health concerns, preventive care, or ongoing management of chronic conditions. Primary care includes routine check-ups, vaccinations, tests, and treatment for minor illnesses and injuries. Primary care providers can connect patients to specialists if needed. Primary care is essential for promoting overall health and addressing medical issues early before they become more serious.
