Preventive care is a fundamental aspect of the services provided by primary care physicians. By focusing on prevention, PCPs help patients avoid serious health issues and maintain optimal health. Preventive care includes routine screenings, immunizations, health education, and risk assessments. Primary care physicians identify potential health risks early and implement strategies to mitigate them, such as lifestyle modifications and preventive treatments. This proactive approach not only improves individual health outcomes but also reduces healthcare costs by preventing the progression of diseases and the need for more extensive treatments.
