Choosing a primary care provider is one of the most important decisions you can make for your health. The right provider does more than diagnose illnesses or perform annual checkups—they get to know you, understand your health goals, and become a trusted partner in helping you and your family stay healthy through every stage of life.
But finding that kind of care is not always easy. Busy schedules, limited access to primary care, and the challenge of coordinating care for different family members can make it difficult to find a provider who is both accessible and the right fit.
At the McCall Behavioral Health Network’s Whole Health Center in Waterbury, the primary care team is working to change that by providing accessible, compassionate care for individuals and families of all ages.
Comprehensive primary care with your family in mind.
The primary care clinic at the Whole Health Center is located at 969 W. Main Street in Waterbury, making it easier for families to receive the support they need in one convenient location. From wellness visits and school physicals to ongoing health concerns and chronic condition management, the team focuses on providing personalized care that meets patients where they are. The clinic offers convenient appointment options, telehealth visits, and after-hours support to help patients access care when they need it.
Compassionate, whole-person care is at the heart of the Whole Health Center’s approach. Whole-person care is an intentional commitment to addressing physical, mental, and emotional health, recognizing that every part of your well-being is connected.
“Whole-person care is an approach to wellness that looks beyond individual symptoms to support your physical, mental, and emotional health as connected parts of your overall well-being,” says Rashidat Olyakun, APRN, McCall Family Nurse Practitioner.
The Whole Health Center also offers additional services to support the health and wellness of the entire community, including mental health support, child and family therapy, substance use treatment, and an on-site pharmacy.
The importance of a trusted healthcare relationship.
A strong relationship with a primary care provider can make a lasting difference in a person’s health. When patients have a provider who knows their history, understands their concerns, and takes the time to listen, healthcare becomes more personal, proactive, and effective.
For Rashidat and the Whole Health Center team, primary care is about more than treating illness. It is about building lasting relationships with patients and families, helping them stay healthy through every stage of life, and creating a place where people feel comfortable returning whenever they need care.
“We really strive to make the Whole Health Center feel like a community home base, not just a medical office,” Rashidat says. “People love to know that they can come to one place and truly be heard, truly be seen.”
Take the next step toward better health.
Whether you are searching for a new primary care provider, due for a routine checkup, or looking for a healthcare team that can care for your entire family, McCall’s Whole Health Center is here to help. You do not need to be a current McCall client to become a primary care patient.
