Get Screened

It all starts with an annual exam with your primary care provider.

Who is a primary care provider?

A primary care provider (PCP) should be your first source for routine, non-emergency medical care. You also can see a PCP by appointment when you are sick. Having a PCP is important because:

  • Your provider knows you and your health history.
  • PCPs help patients establish healthy lifestyles that can prevent illness.
  • Having a PCP is cost-effective and efficient.
  • PCPs include Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Pediatric Providers.

If you already have a primary care provider, click here to visit our Patient Portal and set up an appointment. If you need to establish care with a provider, check out our provider profile on the Find A Provider page. Please note, that not all providers are accepting new patients.
