FirstHealth Primary Care

Our providers can treat all ages – from babies to grandparents. All practices include health promotion, disease prevention, health maintenance, counseling and patient education.

We diagnose and treat common acute and chronic health problems and medical conditions including complete medical histories, complete physical examinations, assessment of health status, routine lab testing, immunizations and family planning.

To better serve you, the providers at our primary care practices see patients by appointment and also offer same-day appointments for acute illnesses. Your primary care provider is your main health care provider, meaning they are the person you call for non-emergency health care needs.
