Importance
There are many benefits to getting health care. Your health care can increase your quality of life by keeping you mentally and physically healthy. They can also prevent dieseases and disabilities (pg. 6). -
Barriers
Some people will avoid getting health care. This is because it can cost a lot, there is a lack of availability, and their insurance does not cover it. This can be bad because their health needs won’t be satisfied, they won’t be prevented from rom dieseases, and hospitalization could have been prevented if they knew their health status. -
Services
Having a primary care provider can be very beneficial to your health. You are able to develop better relations with your doctor, causing more trust. Once you are fully able to trust your doctor you will be able to get better health results (pg. 7). -
Doctors
Doctors are very helpful in determining your health status. When I broke my fibula in 8th grade I went to the orthopedic doctor. My doctor was very nice and was able to determine what had happened to my ankle and told me how to heal.
