Adult Primary Care Services
Sick Care
Sick care is the diagnosis and treatment of illness in an outpatient healthcare setting. Patients seeking care often have symptoms which include fever or feeling feverish/chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, and fatigue
Vaccinations
Vaccines are safe ways to help the body learn how to defend itself from disease without the dangers of a full-blown infection. Working with your healthcare provider, you can decide which vaccines are needed.
Chronic Disease
A chronic illness is one that lasts for a long period of time and typically cannot be cured. It is, however, treatable and manageable. This means that with some chronic illnesses, you or your loved one can return to everyday activities. Common chronic conditions include diabetes, heart disease and stroke, and chronic lung disease.
Wellness Visit
A wellness visit, or physical, is a health check-up that is typically conducted on an annual basis. It involves visiting your healthcare provider to check your vitals, screen for health conditions, and develop a healthcare plan for your needs. The aim of a wellness visit is to promote health and prevent disease and disability.
Prevention and Screening
Preventive screening is a health examination and associated testing that is designed to identify and avoid the development of future health problems, such as cancer, chronic conditions, depression, and more. Preventative screenings may include such services as physical examinations, blood tests, or behavior and lifestyle interviews. Preventive screenings may also be called health screenings.
Care Coordination
Providers and care teams work together to manage the healthcare needs of each patient, including referrals, information sharing, and coordination of other providers. When care teams work together and share information, patient's needs and preferences are known and communicated at the right time to the right people, and the information is used to provide safe, appropriate, and effective care. This can help to keep patients healthier longer, better manage chronic conditions and improve their healthcare experience.
