Primary Care: Your Medical Home

You and your primary care provider (PCP) are partners, with a common goal of keeping you healthy. Your PCP understands your medical history and any chronic conditions you are dealing with. They know when it is time to start screenings, such as mammograms or colonoscopies, and when you should receive vaccinations.

If a medical problem comes up, your PCP will work with you to make a plan to address it – medication, lifestyle changes, or working with a specialist.  

Everyone, including children and young adults, should have a primary care provider.
