Adults with at least one primary care provider

County: Morris
Measurement Period: 2016
This indicator measures the percentage of adults who reported having one or more persons they think of as their personal care doctor or health care provider.

Why is this important?

A Primary Care Provider, or Primary Care Physician (PCP) is what most people just call “their doctor.” A PCP is a generalist, not a specialist. A PCP is usually board certified in either internal medicine or family medicine, though pediatricians and gynecologists can also be considered PCPs.
 
He or she can take care of your preventive care, diagnose diseases and illnesses, and help you find the right specialists when you need them. They’ll help you navigate the health care system so you can concentrate on your health. And, as in the example above, they can work with any specialists you have and put all the pieces together to get the “big picture” of your health.
