What is Primary Care?

Primary care encompasses accessible, integrated health care services by physicians and specially trained teams who address a wide range of personal needs. At St. Lawrence Health, our primary care is person-centered and community-focused, designed to provide the people of St. Lawrence county with the best possible care.

A dedicated primary care provider ensures you have consistent care from a professional who understands your medical history. Because your primary care provider is familiar with your medical needs, abnormalities will be caught more quickly, allowing for more efficient treatment. Primary care and check-ups allow you to undergo routine checks to monitor the risk for heart disease, cancers, stroke, and other critical ailments.

Our primary care providers are specially trained and skilled in comprehensive, continuing care for people of all ages – from babies to senior patients and everyone in-between. Our services include:

  • Acute care
  • Immunizations
  • Managing chronic illnesses
  • Nutrition care
  • Wellness visits and yearly physicals
