As the emphasis in healthcare shifts to wellness, people are depending on their primary care physicians for more of their healthcare needs. What sets these physicians apart from other specialists is their commitment to develop long term, on-going relationships with their patients and families. Their role in providing healthcare expands to include not just the diagnosis and treatment of specific illnesses and medical conditions, but the greater role of educator and advisor.

By helping patients learn how to take care of themselves, what to do when illness occurs and how to know when it's time to see a doctor, First Care Physicians instill in their patients practical knowledge that allows them to live happier, healthier lives. Building relationships with each patient, understanding how they live, listening and learning, being a First Care Physician means believing in the potential of the individuals and families and helping them reach it.

Through their affiliation with Baton Rouge General Medical Center, First Care Physicians have access to the very latest in diagnostic testing, comprehensive healthcare, educational services and a spectrum of other health services.
