Serving East Central Illinois & West Central Indiana
When it comes to your overall health and wellness, your primary care provider
(PCP) is the first person you call.
PCPs are often considered to be the gatekeepers of good health. They are
the main contact for non-emergency health concerns and are often responsible
for a patient’s care over a long period of time. They provide preventive
care, teach healthy lifestyle choices, identify and treat common medical
conditions, and make referrals to medical specialists, when needed.
A PCP can be a doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. At Horizon
Health, PCPs specialize in:
Annual checkups are important for your overall health because they can
prevent future issues and diagnose conditions in their early stages. Checkups
with your primary care provider will give you the tools and knowledge
to live a long and healthy life. Primary care providers also keep you
on schedule for recommended
screenings as you age
