What is primary and preventive care?

At Nile Family Medicine, primary and preventive care is the foundation of your long-term health. It focuses on helping you stay well, catching potential issues early, and guiding you toward healthy habits that last.

This type of care looks at the whole person, not just symptoms. It takes into account your lifestyle, stress levels, diet, and environment — factors that influence your well-being. Regular visits help you take a proactive role in your health and lower your risk of developing chronic conditions.
