A primary care physician (PCP) is a doctor who practices general medicine and helps coordinate all your healthcare — from routine care to hospitalizations. Your PCP is your first stop for getting checkups, screenings, non-emergency illness and injury care, and specialist referrals. While PCPs treat a wide range of illnesses and injuries, they also work closely with specialists to arrange care for more complex conditions.
Your primary care provider (PCP) is your healthcare partner through every age and stage of life. Types of PCPs include:
- Family medicine practitioners – Your healthcare partner and center of care for the whole family — from infants to seniors.
- Internal medicine specialists – Focusing on the prevention and treatment of conditions and diseases in caring for patients ranging from teenagers to adults.
- Pediatricians – Providing babies, children and adolescents with care ranging from routine, well-child visits and immunizations to serious illness and chronic disease management.
- Women’s health providers – Providing OB-GYN care to help keep women healthy at every stage of life through young adulthood, child-bearing years, menopause and beyond.
The Orlando Health Sebastian River Hospital network of primary care providers have access to a full scope of resources to deliver quality care, from advanced diagnostic and treatment options to a wide range of specialists and programs to meet all your healthcare needs.
