Primary Care

Your Medical Home

Valley Medical Center offers convenient, neighborhood clinics located throughout south King County with primary care providers who serve as personal health advocates for you and your loved ones. Primary care providers work with you to monitor, manage and improve your health through all life’s stages, while coordinating care with specialty physicians as needed.

A Primary Care Provider or "PCP" is an acronym used to describe a primary health care provider. PCPs may specialize by age group or may offer care for all members of the family. The role of a PCP is to monitor a patient's general health, address medical concerns and refer patients to specialists and surgeons when necessary.

• Family medicine practitioners provide continuing and comprehensive healthcare for everyone in the family: babies, toddlers, teens, adults, and the elderly. Family medicine practitioners with obstetrics have additional training to care for pregnant women.
• Internal medicine specialists provide primary care to adults.
• Pediatricians care for children and focus on preventive health.
• Gerontologists are internal medicine providers who specialize in geriatrics, focussing on the care of older patients.

Valley is humbled to be nationally recognized as a Patient-Centered Medical Home by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), raising the bar for high-quality care by focusing on access to care, health information technology and coordinated care for patients.

MyChart is a key tool our providers use to stay connected with patients, helping securely manage health questions, information and medical needs.
