Primary care is the front line of Oregon’s health care system. Primary care providers deliver preventive services such as flu shots and cancer screenings, respond to new patient needs and undiagnosed conditions, and identify health problems before they become serious. They help patients navigate an increasingly complex health care system, coordinate care with specialists and other providers, and maintain relationships with patients over time. Primary care providers include physicians, physicians’ assistants, nurse practitioners and naturopathic health care providers.
