Care Coordination
Care coordination ensures that all aspects of your healthcare work together smoothly—especially when multiple providers, tests, or facilities are involved. Rather than navigating the healthcare system on your own, care coordination provides guidance, continuity, and clear communication across your medical team.
​
At Colorado Springs Direct Primary Care, care coordination is relationship-based and personalized. We help manage transitions of care, interpret recommendations, and ensure that important details don’t fall through the cracks.
