Primary care, as defined by the Institute of Medicine, is a comprehensive, first-stop healthcare approach that connects prevention, treatment, and ongoing support. It’s designed to be accessible, with clinicians accountable for meeting most personal health needs while forming lasting, trust-based relationships with patients. Rooted in family and community contexts, primary care considers the whole person, not just symptoms, and aims to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being through continuous, integrated care.
