What Is Primary Care?

Primary care is your first point of contact for everyday health needs and long‑term wellness. At Community Health Network, primary care includes family medicine, internal medicine and pediatrics — supporting preventive care, chronic condition management and treatment for new concerns. 

At your primary care office, physicians and advanced practice providers work together as a care team. This approach means more appointment availability and seamless care — so you may occasionally see another provider within the same office who knows your health history and works directly with your doctor. No matter who you see, your care stays coordinated, connected and focused on you. 

We also know that life happens and in-person visits aren't always possible. So we offer flexible options to meet you where you are.

  • Community Virtual Primary Care lets you connect online with board‑certified providers who partner closely with your primary care doctor to support follow‑ups, chronic disease management and new concerns.
  • On‑Demand Virtual Care allows you to connect with a provider via phone or computer — often right away or at a scheduled time — when you need care quickly.
  • Community Clinic at Walgreens offers convenient, same‑day care for minor illnesses and injuries, select chronic condition support and vaccinations.
  • Community‑GoHealth Urgent Care provides in‑person care for more urgent, non‑emergency needs — including illness, sprains, fractures, minor cuts and burns — with on‑site lab testing and X‑ray.

Together, these options make it easier to get the right level of care, when and how you need it.

Trusted Care for Mom

"Community took care of my mom when she needed the care. It was awesome."

Laurel had received great primary care at Community Health Network for years, so she knew it was the right place to turn when her mother developed a serious blood flow issue. That trusted relationship opened the door to expert care at Community Heart and Vascular, where the cardiology team restored her mom's blood flow and vastly improved her quality of life. What started with great primary care ultimately helped Laurel get her mom back. Hear Laurel's story in the video.
