HEAL THCARE

“As a third-generation primary care

physician, I am passionate about
serving our community. I strive to
know my patients, understand their
healthcare needs, and work with
them to optimize their health
and wellness.” T

Dr. Holly B. Mahoney,
Center for Primary Care-
McDuffie Medical

 Do I really need a primary care physician?
Regardless of age or current health status, building a
relationship with a doctor and his or her team can lead to more
comprehensive care. Having professionals who are familiar with
you and your family is a great step toward making informed,
thoughtful decisions regarding treatment, no matter what health
issues you face. Also, having a primary care provider is part of a
preventative healthcare strategy and can help minimize trips to the
emergency room. ER visits cost 4 to 5 times more than outpatient
provider visits. 
