Choosing the right primary care provider can help ensure your family a lifetime of good health. Patients who know their provider and receive consistent, personalized care make healthier life choices, focus more on prevention and detect health problems earlier to ensure the best treatment outcomes. NPs deliver high-quality, patient-centered primary care to families nationwide, and we invite you to consider an NP for your health care. When patients choose, patients win.
Molly's story:
Why I Choose NPs for Primary Care
"I am a patient with Type 1 Diabetes and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have had the privilege of receiving wonderful care from a Nurse Practitioner for the past 18 years. My NP has seen me through my diagnosis with Rheumatoid Arthritis. She was the one who initiated tests and really listened to me when I wasn’t feeling well."
All About Nurse Practitioners
NPs provide advanced primary, acute and specialty care for all types of patients. In every state, NPs assess patients, order and interpret tests, make diagnoses and provide treatment – including prescribing medications. NPs can be found in clinics, hospitals, emergency rooms, urgent care centers, nursing homes and private practices nationwide. Millions of Americans choose NPs as their health care provider. As clinicians that blend clinical expertise with an added emphasis on disease prevention and health management, NPs bring a comprehensive perspective to health care.
