Get Seen Sooner With Expert Primary Care

If you need more specialized care for a specific concern, your primary care provider can easily refer you to a specialist within our UChicago Medicine AdventHealth network.

Patients are more likely to mention an emerging health concern or ask a question about their health when they have an ongoing relationship with their doctor. This means you’re more likely to receive treatment for a problem that might otherwise have gone unnoticed, with possible long-term consequences.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. A big part of what primary care providers do is preventive care — including regular health screenings for things like high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes and much more.

Regular checkups with your provider can help you avoid preventable illnesses and catch serious health issues early, when treatments work best. With a growing network of UChicago Medicine AdventHealth providers in Chicago’s western suburbs, we make it easy to find a primary care provider and see them regularly.

A physician you see over time has baseline information on your overall health that no one else does. They collect regular records of immunizations and other health measures, monitor your safe medication use and can more easily pinpoint when something isn’t right.

A doctor who knows you can be much more effective in noticing changes in your health, coordinating your unique care and keeping you well.
