Why Have a Primary Care Provider?

Your primary care provider is your main contact for all your health care needs. When you see the same provider over time, you don’t have to explain your history at every visit. Your provider can see how your health changes from year to year and plan your care around it.

Your primary care provider can help with:

Regular visits help you and your provider know what’s normal for you. Learn more in our article, Do I Need a Primary Care Doctor If I Feel Fine?

    Care for conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes, with changes to your plan as your needs change.

  3. Sick visits

    A familiar place to go when you’re not feeling well.

  4. Connections to more care

Finding the Right Fit

Everyone comes to primary care for a different reason. Wherever you're starting, our team can help you find a provider who fits your needs.

New to the Area?

Moving comes with a long to-do list. Finding a primary care provider soon after you settle in means you'll have someone to call when you need care. Our offices serve Wood County and surrounding communities.

Need a New Provider?

If your previous provider retired or moved, or you’re simply ready for a change, we can help you find someone who fits your needs. At your first visit, you’ll have time to share your health history, ask questions and talk about what matters to you.

Has It Been a While?

Life gets busy, and checkups can be easy to put off. If it’s been a while since your last visit, you can schedule one whenever you’re ready. Your provider will talk with you about your health, answer your questions and discuss any screenings or follow-up care they recommend.

Managing a Health Condition?

A provider who knows your history can help you manage any ongoing conditions. Regular visits give you time to ask questions and make changes to your care plan together.
