What is primary care?

Primary care is the day-to-day medical care that helps protect and support your overall health and often serves as the first place you turn when you have questions about symptoms, need a checkup, or want help staying on top of your health.

It includes preventive care, treatment for common illnesses, management of chronic conditions, and guidance on health concerns that arise over time. It gives you a steady point of contact for care and helps you address concerns before they grow into bigger problems.

What does primary care cover?

Primary care covers a wide range of health needs for adults and families. It may include wellness visits, physical exams, preventive screenings, sick visits, chronic disease management, and treatment for minor injuries or common illnesses.

Expanded Health offers prompt care for issues such as:

• Urinary tract infections
• Dog bites
• Lacerations
• Ankle sprains
• Sciatica
• Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)

This is in addition to the comprehensive mental health services available. Expanded Health’s broad approach makes it easier for patients to receive help for both routine concerns and unexpected problems in a single setting.

How can primary care support long-term health?

Primary care supports long-term health by helping you stay current with screenings, monitor ongoing conditions, and get treatment early when something feels off. It also creates a more complete picture of your health over time, leading to more personalized care.

The Expanded Health team takes time to understand each patient’s needs, concerns, and goals. That whole-person approach matters because physical health often connects with stress, sleep, mental health, and everyday habits.

What should you expect during a primary care visit?

A primary care visit may include:

• Discussing symptoms
• Reviewing your medical history
• Checking vital signs
• Reviewing your medications
• Creating a treatment or prevention plan

Some visits focus on routine wellness, while others address a new illness or chronic condition.

When should you schedule a primary care visit?

You should schedule primary care for annual wellness visits, ongoing health concerns, preventive care, or treatment for common illnesses and minor injuries. Regular visits help you stay ahead of problems and support better health over time.

Expanded Health accepts certain insurances and offers concierge medicine packages that provide access to top-tier health care with exclusive access to premium medical services.
