The Importance of Having A Primary Care Provider (PCP)

Having a Primary Care Provider (PCP) is very necessary to all. Most people are in good health or do not have chronic medical conditions. Of course, there are many different specialists such a cardiologist, rheumatologist, neurologist, podiatrist, etc., that a patient could go when a specialist referral is needed; however, if you are feeling under the weather like a cold or a flu, or simply need your medications refilled, a specialist might not be the best option and your first point of contact for such acute problem. Primary Care Providers are essential in the management of both acute common illness such as influenza, asthma attack, chest pain, or chronic conditions such as the management of hypertension (High blood pressure), Diabetes, COPD, Heart Conditions. PCP can also keep your health conditions and work closely with the specialists on your behalf while ensuring good collaboration and coordination are achieved. Please for your own well-being and for your loved ones, we highly encourage that you stay on top of your health by establishing a PCP who will make sure all your preventative health care is managed and taken care as well.  since they help you navigate into good health and help you stay healthy.
