Everyone should have an established relationship with a primary care provider — a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant who specializes in family medicine, internal medicine, or pediatrics. Primary care providers have a crucial role in helping us manage our health. Through routine check-ups and screenings, they can detect problems early, before they become severe. They prescribe needed medications and help make sure our vaccines are up-to-date. They can connect us with a medical specialist when we need one, guide us on making better decisions about our health to prevent disease, and take care of our non-emergency illnesses.
