Primary Care at the Community Care Clinic
A Primary Care Provider (PCP) helps you manage all of your healthcare needs. The Community Care Clinic uses an integrated primary care model, so our patients can be sure they are getting high-quality care from all their providers.

What is Primary Care?
Primary Care is the first and best option for staying healthy. Having a primary care provider (PCP) means that you can see the same team at every visit. Your healthcare team will also have access to your medical records, so you don’t have to worry about calling any previous offices to get information from years ago.
Primary care includes regular annual check-ups, but you can also use your PCP for more urgent visits. CCC offers a walk-in clinic every Thursday, no appointment needed. Just call ahead to confirm that our walk-in provider will have time to see you.

Who Offers Primary Care?
Primary Care Providers are also often called PCP’s. These providers can be Medical Doctors (MD’s), Nurse Practitioners (NP’s), Physician Assistants (PA’s), and other types of medical providers. All PCP’s can diagnose and treat medical conditions.
The most important factor in choosing a PCP is finding a provider that you trust. Establishing care with an initial well-visit or check-up can give you the chance to get to know a PCP before you need help with an urgent concern.

Why Should I Use Primary Care?
Relying on urgent care, the emergency room, or home remedies can be expensive and time-consuming. Having an established relationship with a trusted PCP means you can skip the wait at other walk-in healthcare providers and see someone who knows your health history and background.

How Do I Get Started?
Even if you feel healthy right now, it’s always better to set up an appointment before you get sick. This lets your PCP take the time to get to know you without a pressing issue taking up the appointment time.
