Mental health and physical health are often viewed as two separate entities in U.S. health care. People see their primary care physician (PCP) for their physical needs and a behavioral health specialist for mental health. The reality is physical and mental health are interconnected.
Primary care has a central role in integrating care within a health system. It’s the first point of contact in people’s healthcare journey and the entry point for the entire healthcare system. Having a good relationship with a primary care provider delivers continuous and comprehensive care to patients, whether the care required is physical or mental.
When employees have access to quality primary care, they’re treated as a whole person – not separate pieces of a giant puzzle – to get the care they need for their overall health. HR knows better than anyone that happy and healthy employees are productive employees.
