Examples of Provider in a Sentence

1. Cameron Webb:

   One of the really important pieces of this initiative is it helps create for them a pathway to get access to these therapeutics and to do so through an appropriate prescriber, as per the FDA, of course, for folks who do have a primary care provider and they're able to get in touch with them, by all means, absolutely reach out to your provider, the person who knows you really well.

2. Alex Kozlov:

   When you look at offshore business providers, they built their business model on hiring really smart, well-trained people who are paid very little. That model has been very successful, what’s going to happen if contact centers are run by machines? A lot of jobs are going away. People can’t compete with intelligent machines. It’s completely disrupting the service provider model.

3. Tom Inglesby:

   Right now, we have a number of existing channels around that -- people can talk to their physicians and get testing and treatment through state or jurisdictional efforts -- but it was clear that many people don't have easy access to a health care provider, we've launched the test-to-treat initiative, which will allow people to be tested and seen by a health care provider and then get prescribed antiviral medications all in one place, which will make it much easier, much faster for people who need therapy the most to get on treatment quickly.

4. Andrew Sussman:

   In instances where patients do not have a primary care provider — about 50 percent of all visits – MinuteClinic can be a portal of entry into primary care by providing a resource list of primary care physicians in the area who are accepting new patients.

5. William Schaffner:

   If you become sick, please call your health care provider, because they may well provide a prescription for antiviral drugs that can help reduce the severity and duration of your illness.
