Finding a doctor is the last thing you want
to do when you’re sick. But it’s something
you never think about when you’re well.
So with even a minor illness, many people
end up at the hospital Emergency Depart-
ment because they don’t know a doctor to
call.
Emergency Departments will, of course,
treat your common cold, but E
Departments are not meant toj/place
personal physicians or provide you with
the same jkinds of servicear
That’s why Bayto
has developed the j?
Service./It’s a way for new residents, and
others without a personal physician, to
easily locate a doctor in the specialty they
need, convenient to their home or place-of
Work.//There is /no charge for this service.
Finfding a personal physician before
you’re sick makes good sense for many,
reasons. The doctor can get to know you
and/your medical history and you have
the/opportunity to talk with the physician
to make sure you feel comfortable with
him or her.
Regular checkups can reveal hidden
medical problems such as diabetes, high
blood pressure or anemia that often are
present but have no symptoms. And should
you become ill or have an accident, your
physician will be better prepared to offer.,

background.
