Did you know that choosing a primary care provider is a great way to get healthy and stay that way? At UAMS, our caring and compassionate staff members can help you set health goals, evaluate your progress and treat any illnesses that occur along the way. And we understand the importance of prevention.
Primary care is a term used to describe a health care provider who acts as a first point of consultation for all patients. The term "PCP" can stand for one of two things:
- Primary care physician - a doctor with a medical degree
- Primary care provider - can include nurse practitioners and other health care providers who are not medical doctors
At UAMS, primary care is available at three facilities:
- Family Medical Center
- University Physician Medical Group
- Longevity Clinic in the Reynolds Institute on Aging
Family medicine doctors at our Family Medical Center can serve as the PCP for patients of all ages including prenatal care and delivery. The University Physician's Medical Group clinic is staffed with internal medicine doctors and can serve as the PCP for adults over the age of 18. Geriatricians at the Longevity Clinic in the UAMS Reynolds Institute on Aging serve as the PCP for adults 60 years of age and older.
Many of our primary care physicians are among the best doctors in Arkansas according to Best Doctors, Inc., an independent national health care research firm.
