They work to develop ongoing relationships with their patients and to connect them with the resources they need to achieve optimal health outcomes. Primary care is often the first point of contact for patients seeking medical care, and is critical for ensuring that patients receive comprehensive, coordinated, and cost-effective care throughout their lives.

Urgent care is a type of healthcare service that provides specialized medical attention for non-life threatening conditions and injuries on a walk-in basis.
