Care Team Approach

Care Teams in Action
Leading your care team is your Primary Care Provider (PCP). Your PCP will work to build a strong relationship with you so that together, you can reach your full health potential. Your care team also includes health care providers, nurses and others, who take time to understand your health needs. Together, they are committed to making sure you get the right care, in the right place, at the right time. So if your PCP is not available when you need care, someone on your care team will:
- Call you back.
- Answer GHCMyChartSM messages.
- Call you with lab results.
- Call in prescription requests.
- Make changes to medications when needed.
- Check on your treatment plans.
