At Episcopal Health Services (EHS), primary care is built around relationships, continuity, and a provider who manages your long-term health. Your provider carries your history from visit to visit, coordinates every specialist involved in your treatment, and makes sure the decisions about your health are always yours to make. New patients are welcome at two locations on the peninsula. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available.
Your Partner in Health
Primary care works best when it’s an ongoing partnership. A provider who sees you consistently understands what is normal for you, notices when something shifts, and acts on it before it becomes a larger problem. At EHS, that relationship is the foundation of everything we do.
As your partner in health, your provider will:
- Know your baseline and track how it changes from year to year
- Review your medications across every provider involved in your care
- Walk you through your results until they make sense to you
- Build a care plan that fits your life and your health goals
- Keep your screenings, vaccines, and preventive care on schedule
- Coordinate your specialist care within EHS and stay actively involved throughout
Good health management means a provider who is paying attention all year, across every aspect of your care, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

The EHS Network Behind Your Health Management
When your health requires specialty care, your EHS provider coordinates the referral within the same system. Your records transfer automatically. Your provider stays in contact with your specialist throughout your treatment and picks back up as the manager of your full health picture when specialty care is complete.
Cardiology. Oncology and radiation oncology. Neurology and stroke care. Women’s health and obstetrics. Endocrinology. Nephrology. Pulmonology. Ear, nose and throat. Behavioral health. Physical therapy and rehabilitation. Lab and imaging on-site at both locations.

What is the difference between primary care and urgent care? Primary care is ongoing, relationship-based healthcare with a provider who functions as the manager of your health over time. Your provider tracks your numbers from year to year, manages chronic conditions, coordinates specialist care, and builds a long-term prevention plan with you. Urgent care addresses isolated, non-emergency issues on a walk-in basis. Your primary care provider is the one managing your health between those moments.
