The Power of a Trusted Provider: Why Physical Health at
InterCommunity Matters

At InterCommunity, we believe that staying healthy starts with having a trusted doctor and nurses you can see regularly—what we call Physical Health care. It’s more than just going to a clinic when you're sick. It’s about having someone who knows you, understands your health needs, and helps you stay well.


When people have a regular doctor or Primary Care Provider (PCP)—this might be a physician, nurse, or physician assistant—they’re more likely to catch health problems early, avoid trips to the emergency room, and feel more in control of their health. For people living with diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, or even depression, a trusted doctor can make all the difference. And for people working through recovery from addiction, our Physical Health team helps with things like sleep, nutrition, and liver health, all of which are key parts of healing.


At InterCommunity, our Physical Health team offers care for the whole person. This includes:


  • Checkups and yearly wellness exams
  • Care for chronic conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes
  • Women's health services like Pap smears, birth control, and STI testing
  • Help with quitting smoking and staying up to date on vaccines
  • Support for people in recovery from addiction, including managing medication for addiction like Suboxone, Sublocade, and Vivitrol
  • Same-day visits for minor illnesses
  • Connections to help with food, transportation, employment services, and more


We also work closely with mental health counselors, case managers, and community health workers, so our patients get the care and support they need—all in one place.


“Having a trusted team of medical experts by your side can change the course of someone’s health journey,” said Tyler Booth, Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer at InterCommunity. “We’re here to walk with our patients every step of the way.”


At InterCommunity, we’re proud to provide care that helps people live longer, healthier, and happier lives.
