As part of our commitment to being your go-to provider for all of your healthcare needs, PMC offers a wide range of primary care services. Primary care is your first resource for many medical needs, helping you maintain optimal levels of health today while also setting you up for good long-term health.
Our comprehensive primary care treatment encompasses several different aspects of your healthcare:
- Wellness and prevention
- Acute healthcare
- Management of chronic, long-term conditions
Wellness and prevention services are offered to keep you healthy and free of disease. These services include:
- Regular screenings and checkups to detect health issues early
- A careful review of your health history to identify any risk factors that need to be monitored
- Vaccinations
- Lifestyle change recommendations that will help reduce your risk of illness in the future
- Education related to disease prevention and treatment
Acute healthcare covers injuries or illnesses that develop suddenly, but typically don’t have a long-term impact on your overall health. This may include common illnesses such as a cold, sore throat or the flu. It also involves treatment of injuries, such as sprains, which typically don’t require treatment from a specialist.
Your primary care physician will also help you manage chronic, long-term conditions such as asthma, diabetes or high cholesterol. Your doctor will work with you over an extended period of time to monitor the condition, track any changes that occur and decide when changes to your treatment plan are needed.
These primary care services provide you with several important benefits:
- Better access to healthcare
- Lower your costs by helping you avoid expensive emergency room and urgent care visits
- Improve your long-term health outcomes
