A Wholistic Approach to Your Health Meeting You Where You Are
- Wellness Exams
-
Prevention is often the best medicine, and an annual wellness exam is a window into your health. These important appointments give you the opportunity to check in with your doctor and discuss any questions or concerns about your health. Your provider may also order screenings and lab tests based on your age, medical and family history, and gender. These results are the key to shaping a plan that meets you wherever you are on life’s journey — and helping you feel your best.
- Manage Chronic Conditions
-
It’s estimated that 45% of Americans — nearly 133 million individuals — have at least one chronic illness, such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, depression or anxiety. Fortunately, research has provided important insights on how to best manage many of these diseases so you can enjoy all life has to offer.
Your internal medicine provider can help you control a wide range of chronic conditions. Together, you’ll create a plan that works for you — one that includes resources to educate and empower you, and gives you the tools you need to stay well.
- Regular Screenings for Better Health
-
The internal workings of your body can offer deep insight into your health and wellness for your doctor, just through simple and effective health screenings. These may include:
- Bone health screenings
- Cancer screenings, based on your age, gender, race, and family history
- Cardiovascular screenings
- Diabetes screenings
- Pulmonary health screenings
Your physician will discuss which screenings are right for you.
