What is preventative care?
When you’re hurt or feeling sick, you see a doctor to get the care you need. Preventative care is an approach to medicine that focuses on preventing disease and health problems before they become serious or life-threatening. Routine visits to a primary care provider are an important part of preventative care for both adults and children.
Think of your primary care provider as the quarterback of your medical care. They are responsible for carrying out a successful care plan. It is their job to understand how each update to your history impacts the overall picture of your health and wellbeing.
