Five reasons you should keep going to a primary care provider later in life

As you age, your body changes, and so does what you need to stay healthy. Your provider can be your guide throughout this process.

  • As you age, your body changes, and so does what you need to stay healthy. Your provider can be your guide throughout this process. – National Institutes of Health
  • Your provider is an expert in healthy eating and exercise for older adults and can steer you towards the right choices.
  • If you have a chronic health condition – chronic health conditions affect more than half of the aging population– your provider will help you manage it and perhaps even recommend clinical trials.
  • If you fall – a leading cause of injury among older adults – your provider can help you make a plan to keep it from happening again. – U.S. Department of Health & Human Services
  • A primary provider can save you time and money by sparing you extra referrals and visits to specialists when you don’t really need them.
