Primary Care
A primary care provider is your partner for everyday health. Your provider sees you for yearly checkups and helps you manage ongoing health conditions. Over time, they get to know you and your health history. Wood County Hospital primary care offices in Bowling Green, Deshler and North Baltimore offer care close to home.

What to Expect
Your First Visit
At your first visit, you’ll talk about what brought you in, your health history, medications and any questions or goals you have. A new patient visit averages 30 to 60 minutes and includes:
- A conversation with your provider: You’ll discuss why you’re establishing care, current concerns, health goals and questions.
- A review of your health: Your provider may check basic measures like blood pressure and discuss preventive care. An exam, screening or test may be included if it fits your needs, but a new patient visit isn’t automatically a full physical.
- A plan for next steps: You’ll discuss any treatment, follow-up, tests or referrals that make sense for you.
Bring a list of your medications and questions you want to cover.
Ongoing Care
Primary care can help with preventive care, new health concerns and ongoing conditions. You and your provider can decide what follow-up or screenings make sense for you and when to check in again.
