CHOOSING A PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER
It is important that each member of your family has a primary care provider (PCP). Your PCP is the physician or nurse practitioner who provides your primary care on a regular basis. At Family Health Center, each of our physicians works with a nurse practitioner as a PCP team.
Our staff wants to work closely with you to make sure that you and your family stay healthy. Please ask if we can help you choose a PCP.
TYPES OF PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS
Family Health Center employs several different types of primary care providers. We have MDs, DOs, and ARNPs. A brief description of the training backgrounds for each type of provider is listed below. If you have questions, we encourage discussion of training and qualifications directly with your provider.
