Start the New Year Strong: See Your Primary Care Provider

The new year is a great time to reset routines, set goals, and focus on your health. One of the simplest steps you can take is scheduling a visit with your primary care provider (PCP).

Your PCP is more than someone you see when you’re sick—they’re your partner in staying well. Annual visits focus on prevention, early detection, and creating a plan to support your health all year long.

During a primary care visit, your provider can:

•    Review your health history and medications
•    Check blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar
•    Recommend screenings and vaccines
•    Manage chronic conditions
•    Address concerns like stress, sleep, or fatigue
•    Offer guidance on nutrition and exercise

Regular visits help catch potential health issues early—often before symptoms appear—when they’re easier to treat and manage.

Many people start the year with goals to eat better, move more, or reduce stress, but those goals can feel overwhelming without a plan. Your primary care provider can help you turn good intentions into realistic, achievable steps that fit your lifestyle.

If it’s been a while since your last visit—or if you don’t currently have a PCP—there’s no better time than now. Start the year strong by prioritizing your health and scheduling a visit with your primary care provider. Visit myrhc.net/acceptingnew for find the right provider for you and your family.
