Why Everyone Should Have a Primary Care Doctor

Access to primary care can help us live longer, feel better, and avoid disability and long absences from work. In areas of the country where there are more primary care providers per person, death rates for cancer, heart disease, and stroke are lower and people are less likely to be hospitalized. Health care costs are also lower when people have a primary care provider overseeing their care and coordinating all the tests, procedures, and follow-up care.
