Secondary care is the level of care provided by medical specialists and hospital-based services, such as surgery, intensive care, and radiology. It is typically provided in community hospitals, outpatient testing centers, and specialists' offices, such as cardiologists, oncologists or pulmonologists. Primary care is the first level of care provided by general practitioners, family physicians, or pediatricians, while tertiary care refers to highly specialized and complex medical services, such as transplants or neonatal intensive care units, provided by academic medical centers or specialized hospitals.
