What are Primary Care Services?
Primary care services are broad services for basic medical care. Primary care services can be performed in a variety of medical care facilities and generally include the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases and preventive medicine and education. At Resolute Medical Care, our primary care services include family medical care, urgent medical care, and in-office diagnostic tests. We are your easy-access complete medical care facility to answer all your health-related questions and concerns.
Benefits of Consistent Primary Care Services
Regular visits and a relationship with your nurse practitioner can help you catch health issues and diseases in the early stages. Primary care services include screenings for common diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, high cholesterol, nutritional deficiencies, and more. Primary care services can help you identify your individual risk factors and nurse practitioners can provide preventative treatments and advice to help you reduce your risk to disease and live a healthy life. If you have a chronic illness, then primary care services can help you better manage the symptoms and improve your quality of life and long term health.
Nurse Practitioners Providing Primary Care Services
According to the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP), “89% of the nurse practitioner population prepared in primary care and more than 75% of actively practicing nurse practitioners provide primary care. Nurse Practitioners are a vital part of the U.S. primary care workforce. Evidence supports the high quality and cost effectiveness of NP care and the continued interest of the discipline to contribute to solving the primary care dilemma.” Resolute Medical Care is comprised of nurse practitioners offering family medical care to support the demand for primary care services in the Catonsville and Baltimore area of Maryland.
