Primary care

Exceptional health care should be easy to get no matter what

A strong primary care team is a key part of living well. Whether you’re staying up to date on preventive care, noticing new symptoms or managing a long-term health condition, you need experts with the experience and knowledge to understand the full picture of your health – physical and mental.

We understand that between your work schedule, family obligations, household chores and sneaking in a little “me time,” you have a lot going on in your life. And fitting in doctor appointments makes it even harder to juggle everything.

But what if you could get great primary care when you need it and save time?

We’re working to make it easier than ever to get the care you need with over 50 conveniently located clinics and a growing list of virtual care tools, like video visits, online scheduling, mobile check-in and more.

A range of primary care options

Getting you safe, easy and convenient access to primary care starts with offering you a range of care options, so you can comfortably fit your health and wellness into your life.

50 conveniently located primary care clinics

Annual physicals. Immunizations. Preventive cancer screenings. Quality hands-on care is essential, but clinic location is also key.

From downtown to north, south, east or west of town, we have primary care clinics across the Twin Cities and western Wisconsin. And many of our clinics offer extended hours on nights and weekends.

Video visits for a virtual one-on-one with your doctor

Cold, flu or sinus symptoms. Sleep, nutrition or mental health concerns. Prescription refills and follow-up visits. Primary care video visits make it convenient and comfortable for you to get the care you need from home, work or wherever you may be.

Message your care team conveniently from anywhere

If you have a HealthPartners online account and are okay waiting a day or two for a response, an eVisit is another option for you to communicate with your doctor. Depending on your need, you may be charged for a visit, but eVisits are a faster, more convenient way to message your care team. You can ask a question, follow up after an appointment or get treatment advice.

Even more options when care just can’t wait

Maybe you cut yourself while making dinner and you’re not sure if you need stitches. Or perhaps it’s the middle of the night and you think you have the flu. There’s never a convenient time for illness or injury, but we can help.

If you’re sick or have a minor injury and you want to be seen right away, we have many urgent care locations. Most are open until 8 p.m. and offer video visits, too. Plus, many clinics allow you to select “Save my spot in line,” so you can get in line before you leave the house and spend less time in the waiting room.

If you think you’re coming down with something, get care wherever you are with our online clinic, virtuwell.com . Our Virtuwell team can treat more than 60 common conditions online, no appointment or video needed. With customized treatment plans provided by our board-certified nurse practitioners, Virtuwell provides a more convenient and affordable way to get the care you need, today.

A better experience

We know that simply finding the time for a doctor’s visit isn’t the only convenience factor. For starters, you want it to be easy to find a doctor that fits with you and your lifestyle. And you need a way to schedule appointments whenever and wherever you are.

Whether you’re using your computer, smartphone or tablet, online scheduling makes it easy for you to get an appointment on the books at any time of the day. You’ll start by entering your birth date. From there you’ll be able to select the type of appointment you want and then schedule by doctor, location or time.

With our doctor match tool just answer a few questions and we’ll match you with doctors who meet your needs – you can add location, gender and language filters to narrow your list even further. Then you can explore doctor bios and reviews, and make an appointment with the one you choose.

Mobile check-in

With mobile check-in you can skip the line at the clinic on your appointment day. You can also pay your copay, update your medication list and more. This cuts down on the time you need to spend standing in line or filling out paperwork, so you can get in and get on with your day quickly.

The HealthPartners mobile app

From finding the right care close to you and keeping track of your appointments, to accessing test results and managing your health plan, the myHP app puts care in the palm of your hand. All you need to do is to set up a myHealthPartners account, and then simply download the app for Android or iPhone .
