They are someone who can competently address most of your healthcare needs, with a deep understanding of you as an individual. They coordinate your care, guiding you through the healthcare system and, when necessary, recommending which professionals or specialists to consult. It is a practice grounded in evidence, delivered with affection, care, and respect.
