primary care settings

Primary care settings are healthcare environments where you can see a general doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant for common health issues, check-ups, prevention, and health advice. They serve as the first point of contact for medical concerns and coordinate specialized care if needed. Examples include family doctor offices, community clinics, and pediatric practices. These settings focus on maintaining overall health, managing chronic conditions, and addressing minor illnesses, helping people stay healthy and catch problems early before they become more serious.
