    Primary Care

    Primary care is your first resource for health care in St. James, Minnesota. It encompasses health services to cover a range of prevention, wellness and treatment of common health conditions and illnesses. It's also where you go for checkups and routine medical appointments.

    Health care professionals in primary care include physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. They often maintain a long-term relationship with you to support and manage your ongoing care.

    Choosing a primary care provider

    Finding the right primary care provider is important, and it's the first step to take as a new patient. Having a primary care provider allows you to establish a trusting relationship with one person who gets to know you and your medical history, and who provides continuity of care for you and your family.

    A primary care provider:

    • Evaluates and treats day-to-day health problems
    • Advises you on preventive screenings at different stages throughout your life
    • Follows up with you to explain test results and judge how well your treatment is working
    • Refers you to qualified specialists when needed /li>
    • Maintains the big picture of your overall health and treatment needs

    Primary Care includes these specialties:

    • Family Medicine
    • Internal Medicine
    • Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine

    When selecting a primary care provider, you may consider:

    • A clinic or office location
    • A specific specialty: Family Medicine, Internal Medicine or Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine /li>
    • Your medical conditions, perhaps matching your needs to the interests or expertise of the health care professional

    To learn about our health care professionals, browse the directory of providers, making sure to select your preferred location.
