Step 2: Get regular screenings.
Discuss preventive care screenings with your doctor. He or she will consider your age, health conditions and medical history to determine an appropriate screening schedule for you. You may also get preventive care reminders from Hill Physicians, because your medical group and your doctor work together to make sure you receive regular screenings.
Step 3: Know Your Hospital and Urgent Care Options.
Talk to your primary care physician (PCP) about your hospital preferences. Your PCP will have privledges at various hospitals, and may also refer you to specialists who use additional hospitals. Hill Physicians Medical Group has agreements with more than three dozen exceptional hospitals across Northern California, including great choices near you.
For added convenience, there are many Urgent Care Centers in our network. You may use these for evening and weekend services if your primary care physician is not available and you feel you need immediate attention.
*If you feel you are experiencing a life-threatening medical or psychological emergency, call 911 immediately.
Step 4: Stay Up-to-Date.
Knowledge is a powerful tool and small changes can lead to a big impact.
Select the health topics that are important to you and we will send you a monthly e-newsletter on those subjects. These tips help you incorporate healthy choices into ordinary, daily activities so you can experience the results.
Step 5: Sign Up for our "Talk to Your Doctor" Service.
