Primary Care
Primary care is general health care. It is a patient's first point of contact for their health and wellness needs. Patients develop lifelong partnerships with their primary care provider (PCP). Your PCP takes ongoing responsibility for providing and managing your comprehensive health care, keeping a birds-eye view over all other members of your care team including specialists, therapists and more.
Types of Primary Care Providers
There are multiple training and certification pathways for doctors who provide primary care. Learn more about each primary care specialty:
Family Medicine
Family Medicine is like Internal Medicine and Pediatrics in that physicians care for patients of all ages. Family Medicine physicians have diverse training with patients of all ages, both in routine outpatient care and hospital-based care, and care that complements primary care including obstetrics, gynecology and psychiatry.
Geriatrics
Geriatrics physicians offer care to seniors 75 years and older. They seek to identify ways to preserve an individual’s independence and quality of life through the use of medical care, family and community resources.
Internal Medicine
Internal Medicine is a primary care environment where physicians are trained to provide general health care for adults primarily in a hospital setting. They care for patients from birth through all ages. Internal Medicine is a good option if you'd like to find a physician that can manage general and chronic health conditions.
Pediatrics
Internal Medicine & Pediatrics is a primary care environment where physicians are trained and are board-certified in both internal medicine and in pediatrics primarily in a hospital setting. They care for patients from birth through all ages. Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, commonly referred to as Med-Peds, is a good option if you would like to join a practice that can care for members of your family of all ages.
