Health Care Providers
A health care provider is defined as any licensed individual, facility, or agency that provides services, treatment, or care to improve or extend the health of an individual. Generally, when people think of health care providers, they think of their doctor or nurse because these are the individuals who most commonly provide health care services to an average patient.
