Your Primary Care Provider* leads your health care team, which may include doctors, nurses, specialists, therapists and other health caregivers.
You are the most important person in your health care. Make sure your doctor understands you and that you understand what your doctor is saying.

There are other health caregivers such as nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) who also provide some primary care. This care includes annual exams, urgent care and follow-up of ongoing health care.
