Primary Care

A primary care provider (PCP) is often a patient’s go-to source for medical care and information. Establishing a relationship with a PCP is an important step in anyone’s health journey.

Primary care specialists are medical practitioners who deliver routine care, treat acute illness, provide preventative wellness, and offer non-emergency medical services. They also connect patients with other medical specialists, when needed.

A PCP focuses on the whole patient, rather than one illness, organ, body system or disease. Mile Bluff’s team of providers includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and a midwife. They offer services for patients of all ages, and offer a variety of primary care specialties.

Adult medicine – This primary care specialist is dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of health concerns common to adults. From general health assessments to consultations for complex medical problems, an adult medicine provider cares for the whole patient.

Family medicine – These providers have expertise in comprehensive medical and preventive care for patients from birth through adulthood. While a family medicine provider’s knowledge and skill may overlap with other specialties, the family medicine process is very specialized. It is built on the patient-provider relationship, with respect to the patient's role in the context of the family. Some family medicine providers are also certified in obstetrics, which allows them to provide family-centered pregnancy care and delivery services.

Through prevention and the promotion of healthy living, internal medicine providers help patients see the importance of overall wellness.
