  • Why You Should Establish a Primary Care Relationship, No Matter Your Age
    Jul 3 2024
    Primary care is personal. Dr. Harry Hawthorne, a Board Certified family medicine physician who provides primary care with St. Francis Medical Group, discusses the importance of primary care and the role of family medicine in healthcare. He emphasizes the value of building relationships with patients and the ability to provide comprehensive care for individuals of all ages. Dr. Hawthorne also addresses misconceptions about primary care and encourages listeners to establish and maintain a trusting relationship with their primary care provider. Primary care providers play a crucial role in building relationships with patients and providing comprehensive care for individuals of all ages. Primary care is not just about treating acute illnesses but also about managing chronic conditions and addressing mental health concerns. Establishing a trusting relationship with a primary care provider is important for personalized and effective healthcare. Urgent care has its place, but primary care offers the advantage of continuity of care and a provider who knows your medical history. It is important to address and manage chronic conditions early to prevent complications and improve overall health. Primary care providers can help address underlying issues that may be causing symptoms and provide holistic care. Finding a primary care provider that you trust and feel comfortable with is essential for your overall health and well-being.

  • Easy Access to Primary Care – How to Get Established
    Jun 20 2024
    Primary care is personal. In this conversation, Katie Doggett, NP, primary care provider with Our Lady of Lourdes Physician Group, discusses the importance of primary care and the role of a primary care provider (PCP) in managing and preventing illnesses. Doggett provides primary care for patients at Our Lady of Lourdes Physician Group Family Medicine at Sunset, Louisiana, near where she grew up in Carencro. She emphasizes that everyone needs a PCP, even when you're healthy. Just because you aren't sick doesn't mean you don't need primary care. Providers help identify and address disease processes earlier through annual wellness screenings. Doggett also highlights the benefits of establishing a relationship with a primary care provider, such as better access to care, improved communication between healthcare providers and the ability to prevent further disease progression. She encourages patients to be active participants in their healthcare and to make use of tools like MyChart for easy communication with their healthcare team.
