Primary Care
The Hub of Your Healthcare Universe
You face some kind of health care issue nearly every day. The critical first step towards addressing your concerns and improving your family’s health is establishing a relationship with a primary care practitioner (PCP) for everyone in your family.
At Day Kimball Healthcare, your Connecticut primary care physician is at the core of our patient-centered medical home (PCMH) approach to healthcare. In this model, your PCP doesn’t just care for your day-to-day health needs and treat you when you’re sick; he or she also serves as your healthcare advocate by coordinating all aspects of your care throughout our system.
Our primary care practitioners:
- Work to keep you well by providing preventive care and by helping you to proactively manage your own health, thus improving your quality of life and reducing your healthcare costs
- Are there for you with sick appointments when minor illnesses or injuries do arise, offering both savings and better continuity of care over a trip to the emergency department.
- Provide not only referrals but comprehensive care coordination across all the services Day Kimball Healthcare has to offer - so when specialized care is required you can be assured that all of your providers are working together within an informed and holistic approach that is tailored to you.
Our primary care services include:
-
Family Medicine
Family medicine practitioners provide continuing, comprehensive healthcare for individuals of all ages (from infancy to elderly) and both genders, as well as care for each organ system and every disease entity. As the name implies, family medicine physicians can also provide care to all members of a family, offering continuity of care within the household. Some family medicine practitioners also provide obstetrical care for women.
