Finding a primary care provider is no small decision. From treating common illnesses to directing your healthcare strategies, your primary care physician frequently provides much of the medical care for you and your family.

If you’re on the hunt for a new provider, here are six reasons to consider turning to Lakeland Regional Health for your primary care needs:

340+ providers and 40+ specialized areas to choose from

ICYMI, Lakeland Regional Health (LRH) is more than just a hospital. The Lakeland Regional Health Physician Group (LRHPG) has 340+ providers specializing in areas like Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Pediatrics, and more — 40 more actually.

18 locations spread throughout the region

Including its 892-bed Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center, the health system has over 18 locations throughout Polk County and surrounding areas — including three Urgent Care locations that can even care for patients that are not yet established with an LRH provider.

Easy referrals to multiple specialties

Providers can give patients continuous care by referring to multiple specialties within the LRH physician group. What that means for you: Patients have access to a vast network of providers, including those at:

  • Hollis Cancer Center
  • Carol Jenkins Barnett Pavilion for Women and Children

  • And more

Bilingual services for a diverse population

Many providers offer bilingual services to better serve their diverse patient population. Pro tip: Get matched with the right physician by using the language filter.
