Selecting your primary care physician (PCP) is one of your first, and most important, steps on the road to health. You’ll want to choose carefully, because your primary care physician will be the most significant member on your healthcare team. He or she will:

• Manage and coordinate all of your healthcare needs
• Be the first person you turn to for help with routine check-ups, wellness programs, preventive care, illness, injury, medications, and referrals to other medical professionals and facilities like specialists, hospitals, emergency rooms, and urgent care centers
