PCP’s:

A proactive approach to prevent or identify health problems

A primary care provider (PCP) is a doctor, physician assistant or nurse practitioner who serves as your main health care provider for non-emergency needs, routine screenings and wellness visits. Your doctor may be a doctor of medicine (M.D.) or a doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.). Both are licensed physicians, though they receive slightly different training. Advanced practice providers, such as nurse practitioners (NP) and physician assistants (PA), can also serve as primary care providers and are trained in diagnosing and treating medical issues.

Why do you need a PCP?

It is a good idea to have an established primary care provider before you experience health issues. That way, if you notice unusual symptoms, you have someone who knows your medical history and can provide treatment or make a referral to a specialist. However, if you don’t currently have a primary care provider and have a non-emergency medical issue, it is best to go to urgent care. Many urgent care centers can refer you to a primary care provider for follow-up care.

HendersonvilleMagazine.com

What does a PCP do?

Provide preventive care. Your PCP can guide you in adopting healthy lifestyle changes – such as diet, exercise, sleep, stress management and smoking cessation – that improve your overall health. He or she can also provide your annual physical and recommend age-appropriate screenings, such as a colonoscopy or mammogram. Ideally, you should see your primary care provider once a year for a wellness visit or annual physical. If you have any non-emergency health concerns throughout the year, you have someone you with whom you can schedule an appointment.

Diagnose and treat common health issues. Your primary care provider can address many common health concerns, such as a respiratory illness, sore throat, headache, urinary infection and back pain. A PCP can prescribe medications for acute and chronic conditions as needed.

Manage chronic health conditions. Your PCP can help manage ongoing medical concerns like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes and depression. They also have experience in managing multiple medical treatments and medications and understand how these treatments may interact with one another.

Refer you to a specialist. When you need additional care for a medical issue, a primary care provider can refer you to a medical specialist, such as a cardiologist, orthopedic surgeon, psychiatrist or urologist. Your PCP can also help coordinate your care if you see multiple specialists. For example, if you have diabetes and heart disease, you may need to see an endocrinologist and cardiologist in addition to your primary care provider.

Help you navigate care transitions. A PCP can also provide support as you experience transitions in your health care, such as when you go home after a hospital stay or enter rehabilitation after surgery.

DOWNSIZING HOUSEHOLD POSSESSIONS BEFORE A MOVE

Preparing for a move can also mean realizing you have more possessions than you need or want. Downsizing can be daunting but there are professionals who can help and lots of tips for tackling the job yourself. Professional organizers and move managers specialize in sorting and organizing, managing paperwork and documentation, selling items, coordinating the donation of possessions to charity and arranging packing and moving. Two resources for finding such professionals are the National Association of Senior & Specialty Move Managers at NASMM.com and Find My Organizer at FindMyOrganizer.com. To begin downsizing, honestly evaluate what items you need and currently use in your life and think about what you really will – or won’t – need in your next home. Categorize items as ones to “keep,” “sell or donate,” “see if a family member wants” or “throw out.” Use color-coded stickers to indicate which category an item falls into or put items into different designated piles during the sorting process. Because it’s easy to become overwhelmed, pace yourself, enlist the help of friends and loved ones and consider limiting sorting and purging sessions to no more than two hours at a time. If you have possessions you think friends and loved ones would like, invite them over to take items for themselves, perhaps at a “downsizing party.” Consider contacting local nonprofit thrift stores and other charities about your donations which may be tax-deductible. Many organizations will come to your home to pick up furniture and other household items if they are in good condition. Start with downsizing by: • Getting rid of clothing and accessories you haven’t worn in years. • Purging books, magazines, CDs, albums, DVDs and VHS tapes. • Clearing out multiple pieces of furniture, especially ones that are large and bulky. • Disposing of unused exercise equipment, tools, kitchen appliances and other devices. • Weeding out holiday and other decorations. • Passing on keepsakes, old photos and mementos to family members. • Going through paperwork, digitizing important documents and shredding files that are outdated or no longer needed. • Emptying off-site storage facilities.
