Valley Health is pleased to offer an array of primary care services. By
definition, primary care, also known as family medicine, is the day-to-day
care given by a health care provider. A primary care provider typically
acts as the first contact and principal point of continuing care for patients,
coordinating other specialty care that the patient may need.
Valley Health has over 30 offices offering family and internal medicine
primary care. With locations in Virginia and West Virginia, these practices
provide preventative and acute illness care, and allow you to develop
trusting relationships with providers who offer expertise and compassion.
Turn to your Primary Care Provider (PCP) for:
Annual physicals
Child well visits
Prescription refills
Care for chronic conditions and more
Patients may see several qualified providers for their care including primary
care physicians also known as general practitioners or family physicians,
a nurse practitioner who usually will have additional training in family
medicine, or a physician assistant. If needed, these providers may also
collaborate with other health professionals, typically specialists, for
consultation and may refer you to them if necessary.
These clinicians support you by providing individualized guidance on issues
that specifically impact you including:
Disease prevention
Health maintenance
Counseling
Education
Diagnose and treat acute and chronic illnesses
Your primary care provider will be your lifetime healthcare partner, offering
support and guidance for every stage of your life.
It is important to establish yourself with a primary care provider early
on, as they will be your personal advocates throughout your healthcare journey.
