What is primary care?

Primary care includes medical services to address various acute health issues and chronic diseases that affect adults and children.

Working with a primary care provider gives you access to diagnostic testing and treatment services when you’re not feeling well or need support managing a chronic condition. Primary care physicians also provide preventive services to lower risk factors for potentially preventable health complications.

Grassroots Healthcare makes affordable primary care services available to women, men, and children. The dedicated medical team uses conventional and functional medicine strategies to optimize individual wellness.

The team’s integrative approach helps them identify and address the root cause of health issues rather than just treating symptoms.

Which primary care services are available?

Grassroots Healthcare provides a full range of health and wellness services to accommodate the unique needs of adults and children, including:

• Annual physicals
• Vaccinations
• Preventive screenings
• Chronic disease management

Urgent care appointments are available for sudden illness and unexpected injuries that require immediate medical attention. These visits ensure you get the high-quality care you deserve without long wait times and other hassles that are standard at a hospital emergency room.

The medical team also provides Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals and other specialized exams that school and sports organizations require.

What can I expect during my first primary care visit?

During your first primary care visit at Grassroots Healthcare, you meet with your provider to discuss your wellness goals. They evaluate your personal and family medical history and any symptoms you have. Your provider also asks questions about your diet, lifestyle, and job to identify your overall health needs.

You can expect a physical exam if you’re visiting for preventive care. The team may also order bloodwork or other diagnostic tests to check for diabetes, high cholesterol, and other underlying health issues. They discuss any treatments you might need to support your long-term health.

If you’re not feeling well, the team works closely with you to diagnose the root cause of your illness and review your treatment options to relieve symptoms and prevent additional complications.

Follow-up appointments are available to monitor changes in your health from one visit to the next. The primary care providers also offer weight management and other wellness services to enhance physical, mental, and emotional health.
