Primary Care – Cook County Health

A primary care provider (PCP) is often your main contact at Cook County Health.

Primary care doctors, sometimes called Family Medicine physicians, specialize in everyday health and can treat a range of health issues.

If you require additional medical service, PCPs will refer you to a specialist.

Preventing Illnesses

Cook County Health PCPs care for your overall wellness and work with you to provide information and resources to help prevent illnesses and keep you healthy.

There are two important keys to staying healthy: eating right and being active. Even small changes can make a big difference in how you feel and your overall health. Smart diet choices and exercise will boost your immune system, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, give you more energy, and help you lose weight.
