Choosing a physician and a health-care facility can be an overwhelming task. Whether you're new to the community or you've lived here for years, you may not have a personal physician.

If you choose a physician before you become ill, you can take some of the stress out of being sick. Or perhaps you need to find a specialist and you're not sure where to start.

Our program can help you choose a physician to meet your and your family's special needs. Free and confidential services include:

• Assistance with outpatient referral to University Physicians primary care or specialty care
• Providing information about our primary care physicians and specialists.
• Assisting with the transfer of medical records.
• Discussing specific health problems and recommending self care when appropriate.
• Serving as an information source regarding services and programs of University of Missouri Health Care.
• Access to health information on the Internet.
