What is primary care?

Primary care includes all your routine and urgent care health needs. You visit a primary care provider whenever you need medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment unless you have an emergency and need to call 911. Emergencies include life-threatening injuries, stroke or heart attack symptoms, seizures, and losing consciousness. The Inspire Behavioral Health team specializes in providing primary care services using secure and convenient telemedicine.

What primary care services might I need?

Primary care services fall into several categories, including:

Urgent care and sick visits

You might need a sick visit or urgent care if you have an acute illness that you can’t resolve at home. Most common conditions, like colds and stomach bugs, improve in a few days without treatment. You can help by resting, drinking plenty of water, and using appropriate over-the-counter medicines. If your symptoms don’t improve or you have an underlying health condition that makes you more vulnerable, you might benefit from urgent care.

Preventive medicine

Preventive medicine aims to prevent you from getting sick. It includes immunizations against diseases, like polio, flu, and measles, and screening for conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, cancer, and hypertension (high blood pressure).   Lifestyle advice is also key to preventive medicine. Inspire Behavioral Health’s Dr. Shaveta Goyal specializes in preventive care, offering extensive support and advice on making healthy lifestyle choices such as:

• Losing weight
• Exercising more
• Managing stress
• Eating a healthy diet
• Quitting smoking
• Reducing alcohol consumption

Preventive medicine also protects your mental health, which is the Inspire Behavioral Health team’s main focus.

Chronic disease management

Long-term health problems, like heart disease, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, and diabetes require ongoing care. Dr. Goyal has considerable experience in diagnosing and managing chronic diseases.
