Primary care physicians (PCPs) play an important role in every patient’s health. At Bayfront Health Medical Group, PCPs develop and maintain relationships with patients for years – sometimes, even, for life.
Primary Care Providers That Know You
Through these long-term relationships, primary care providers are able to help manage chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure, while also having enough background information on your medical history so that he or she is an effective partner in treating sudden illnesses like the flu.
Primary care providers aim to help patients get healthy and stay healthy by treating the whole person. This approach prioritizes being proactive over reactive.
