Adult Primary Care Q & A

What is adult primary care?

Adult primary care, or internal medicine, is a branch of health care that diagnoses, treats, and prevents illnesses in adults. As you get older, you’re more likely to experience health problems, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Routine physical exams and preventive screenings can alert you to potential problems when they respond best to treatment.

In addition, adult primary care presents an opportunity to build a relationship with your doctor. Your provider can answer questions, write you a prescription for medication, update your immunizations, or monitor your health goals over time.
