What is primary care?

Primary care practices like AtEase Family Medical Clinic prevent, diagnose, and treat acute and chronic health problems. They service most of your family’s health care needs, except for life-threatening injuries or illnesses for which you should call 911 or visit your nearest hospital emergency room.

If you have a problem requiring specialized diagnosis and treatment, you still go to your primary care provider — they can refer you to the right specialist when necessary.

What services does primary care offer?

AtEase Family Medical Clinic offers a comprehensive range of services, including:

Sick visits

Common symptoms that could require a sick visit include:

• Diarrhea and vomiting
• Abdominal pain
• Fevers
• Severe or persistent headaches
• Painful urination
• Severe sore throat
• Sinus congestion
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Minor cuts and abrasions
• Minor burns and scalds

It’s often possible to recover from these symptoms at home. Over-the-counter medications can often ease pain and other symptoms, and you can clean and dress many wounds yourself. If you’re sick, get plenty of rest, drink fluids frequently, and eat small, easily digestible meals.

If you don’t get better with home care or your symptoms worsen, arrange a sick visit. You can take advantage of the practice’s same-day appointments, walk-in urgent care clinic, or telehealth services.

Chronic disease management

Chronic diseases are long-lasting health problems like heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and asthma. Chronic disease management includes regular monitoring and tests to ensure you manage your condition effectively.

Weight management

Excess body weight is one of the most dangerous things to health, so primary care providers help you reduce your weight and keep it under control.

How does primary care stop me from getting sick?

One of the most critical services in primary care is preventive medicine, which helps you avoid many health problems and identifies others at an early stage when they’re easier to treat. Preventive medicine services the AtEase Family Medical Clinic team offers include:

• Blood pressure measurement
• Blood sugar tests
• Annual physical exams
• Immunizations
• Cancer screening
• Cholesterol checks
• Nutrition counseling
• Lifestyle changes

By engaging with preventive medicine, you reduce your risk of life-threatening diseases and avoid the pain, distress, inconvenience, and expense of ill health causes.
