What Is Primary Care?
Primary care is integrated, accessible health care at a basic level. Primary care physicians address the majority of one’s personal health care needs. This type of health care is person-centered, team-based, and community-aligned. It is designed to achieve enhanced health, improved care, and more affordable costs. At its core, primary care focuses on wellness and prevention. It is also useful for helping patients manage chronic, long-term conditions like diabetes or asthma.
The Importance of Primary Care
Primary care is important because it is meant as one’s main source of healthcare. A primary care provider (PCP) manages patients’ day-to-day healthcare needs and usually forms long-term relationships with them. A primary care clinic can give you better access to healthcare, lower your medical costs, and improve your health outcomes. Not only does primary care permit patients to spend less money on their healthcare in the short and long term, but they are generally healthier as well.
The Primary Care Practitioner Types
When it comes to primary care practitioner types, there are multiple. Primary care practitioners often include family physicians, internists, pediatricians, geriatricians, obstetricians/gynecologists (OB-GYNs), nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. Below, we’ve gone into more detail about each:
A family physician can help prevent, diagnose, and treat conditions in patients of all ages. They can also perform immunizations, disease diagnoses, and minor surgery. At BHA, our family medicine providers specialize on adult care.

What is Senior Care?
Our Senior Care program offers comprehensive, high-quality healthcare specifically tailored for patients aged 65 and older. Patients receive support with preventive care, chronic disease management, and age-related conditions, all under the BHA banner. Our providers bring a diverse range of skills and collaborate to deliver an integrated approach to care. Each Senior Care patient has a dedicated team consisting of a primary care provider, a nurse, a clinical pharmacist, and specialists as needed.
Our Senior Care program is based on the philosophy of delivering “value-based care,” which is a term used in healthcare to describe a focus on the quality of care, provider performance and the patient experience. The value-based model allows your team of providers to spend more time with patients and offer other support and resources to improve health.

FAQs
Senior Care primary care services are designed to be a value-based model and work best when paired with Medicare Advantage plans.
If you are a BHA patient and over 65, you are already reaping the benefits of our expertise in delivering quality medical care to seniors. If you are interested in joining the Senior Care program, talk to your primary care provider to see if it’s right for you.
Our Senior Care program uses an integrated approach, so we coordinate all aspects of your health, including your medications. It’s important to meet with a clinical pharmacist to review all your medications to ensure you are comfortable and your prescriptions are working effectively together. In addition to optimizing your medication regimen, a pharmacist can synchronize your prescriptions so they refill simultaneously, reducing the hassle of managing multiple schedules. Staying on top of your medications and avoiding lapses is one of the most effective ways to prevent serious health complications.
