Research highlights the benefits of having a primary care provider for families, leading to improved health outcomes. A study by the National Library of Medicine underscores this point.
“Having a primary care provider is often overlooked, but it can ensure health concerns are addressed early, leading to better outcomes and less stress for parents,” says Dr. Brad Wozney, Family Medicine Physician with Emplify Health by Bellin. “It also allows providers to establish a comfort level with children and adults alike, helping to create a lasting, trusting relationship for care.”
Young families are encouraged to prioritize establishing a primary care relationship to meet their health needs promptly. This approach enables them to focus on spending quality time together.
