Choosing a Primary Care Provider

It is important to choose a primary care provider (PCP) who you can rely on and trust for your healthcare needs, since he or she is often involved in your care for a long time. The PCP is your primary partner for determining which specialists need to be consulted, and the care team at your Medical Home clinic assists in coordinating care on your behalf while looking at the bigger picture of your overall health.
