Off-Campus Resources for Low or No Cost Primary Health Care

Primary Health Care is a key component to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of acute and chronic illnesses. This ‘medical home’ is the central point in the coordination of your health care. Primary Care practitioners are seen for the diagnosis and treatment of acute illnesses, like strep throat or the flu, and for on-going management of chronic conditions such as diabetes, ADHD, and chronic back pain. Primary care is generally provided by physicians, but is increasingly provided by a team of personnel that includes nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
