Taking control of your health is critical to living well, and it doesn’t have to feel confusing, overwhelming or scary. Maybe you have been on your personal health journey for a long time or perhaps you are just starting, but either way, Primary Care is a great health home-base. Read on to learn more about how to take control of your health with primary care.
Primary Care for Prevention
One big way you take charge of your health by seeing a Primary Care Provider is through prevention. We all want to avoid life-altering diseases. Your provider can help you examine your family’s health history and risk factors, provide education on how to prevent disease, and possibly notice any issues earlier which allows you to get treatment sooner (Abbott). As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Prevention really is key, and regular check-ups are a big part of that (Up Health System)!
Primary Care Providers
Another way you take charge of your health through primary care is by addressing issues head-on, putting yourself under the treatment and monitoring of a provider who knows YOU and your health needs. Your provider has the knowledge, credentials, and compassion to help you with what you’re facing, whether short-term or long-term (Abbott). They are able to both provide and get you connected with proper treatment, as well as monitor for changes. You take charge of your health by allowing yourself to be cared for.
Get Clarity on Your Journey
Sometimes understanding what we’re dealing with and what to do about it can be confusing. Your provider can help you understand what you’re experiencing, what it may stem from, what treatment is necessary, and what routes of action you can take. Additionally, if you require specialized care, your provider can provide referrals and connections to the care you need. You don’t need to navigate your health journey alone!
