Why Do You Need a Primary Care Doctor?
Having a trusted relationship with your PCP provides you with an important partner for your health care needs.
Your PCP at UPMC Bedford:
- Focuses on your total health.
- Promotes healthy lifestyles and prevention.
- Treats common medical conditions.
During routine check-ups, your PCP will record your height and weight and screen for “silent” diseases — ones you may not know you have — such as:
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Some forms of cancer
If your PCP detects a problem, he or she will work with you to address it and track your progress.
Benefits of Having a Primary Care Physician
Your PCP will:
- Know you, your lifestyle, and your health history.
- Be your “go-to” when you’re sick.
- Provide screenings, preventive care, and physicals (school and truck driver).
- Keep a close eye on your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol.
- Maintain your health records.
- Assess and direct your health care needs.
- Refer you to medical specialists, when you need other care.
- Work with the UPMC Bedford hospitalist following discharge to ensure a smooth transition from hospital to home.
