What is primary care?
As a primary care practice, Health Care provides a comprehensive array of health services. Visit a primary care provider for:
- Disease prevention
- Health promotion
- Patient education
- Medication management
- Specialist referrals
A primary care provider serves as the foundation of your health maintenance, the first point of contact for just about any medical condition.
Even if you have a specialized health concern, such as a cancer diagnosis or endometriosis, the team at Health Care can refer you to a qualified specialist and coordinate your care.
Why do I need a primary care provider?
A primary care provider is there for all your general health needs. Regular checkups help prevent serious medical issues. They have a record of your health history and can watch trends in your health and screening results.
Your primary care doctor notices changes in your health before serious symptoms result so you can get early intervention when the condition is easiest to treat.
If you do see a number of specialists, the team at Health Care serves as a single point of care where all your health history is located.
Adults who regularly visit a primary care provider have a higher quality of life and a reduced chance of premature death as compared with people who don’t.

What if I don’t have time to visit a primary care doctor?
Your health should be a priority. Regular wellness visits and care for seemingly minor health concerns may appear to be a hassle, but they prevent severe complications in the long run.
When you intervene at the first signs of an illness or manage your long-term health, your well-being is preserved and you have the time and energy to do the things you love.
Health Care is open six days a week, including Saturdays, and before and after work.
