Preventive Care and Screenings
Preventive care is an important part of staying healthy at every stage of life. Routine checkups, recommended screenings, immunizations, and healthy lifestyle choices can help identify potential health concerns early—sometimes before symptoms develop.
The care you need may vary based on your age, sex, medical history, family history, lifestyle, and individual risk factors.

Stay Ahead of Your Health
Preventive care is not only about treating illness. It is also about understanding your health, identifying risk factors, and taking steps to help prevent future problems.
Routine Physicals & Wellness Visits 🩺
Regular checkups are a time to review your overall health, medications, medical and family history, lifestyle habits, and preventive care needs.
Routine Health Screenings 🧪
Screening tests can help identify certain conditions before symptoms develop. Depending on your age and risk factors, this may include checks for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and other conditions.
Immunizations 💉
Vaccines are part of preventive care throughout life. Recommendations may vary based on age, health conditions, pregnancy, occupation, travel, and vaccination history.
Healthy Lifestyle ❤️
Everyday choices also matter. Balanced nutrition, regular activity, adequate sleep, avoiding tobacco, limiting alcohol, and managing stress all support long-term health.
Recommended Health Screenings
Screening recommendations are not the same for everyone. Your provider can help determine which tests are appropriate and how often they should be done.
Blood Pressure
Regular checks can help identify high blood pressure, which often has no noticeable symptoms.
Diabetes Screening
Blood glucose or A1C testing may be recommended based on age, weight, family history, previous results, and other health risks.
Cholesterol Screening
Cholesterol testing helps evaluate fats in your blood and provides information about cardiovascular risk.
Cancer Screenings
Depending on your age, sex, family history, and other risk factors, this may include screening for colorectal, breast, cervical, lung, or prostate cancer.
Mammography
Breast cancer screening with mammography may be recommended based on age and individual risk.
Cervical Cancer Screening
Pap and/or HPV testing may be recommended as part of women’s preventive care.
Bone Density
Bone density testing may be recommended for some adults, especially those at higher risk for osteoporosis.
