What Can I Expect During a Preventive Care Appointment?

 

• During your exam, your provider reviews medical history and performs a physical exam. For adults with a family history of certain chronic diseases, we may order additional preventive health screenings to detect early warning signs of heart disease, thyroid dysfunction, and gastrointestinal health issues.

 

• These screenings are an important part of preventive health care, as not all conditions show symptoms. By undergoing routine health screenings, your provider can identify diseases in their earliest stages, so treatment can begin as soon as possible.

 

• In addition to your health evaluation, preventive care visits are a great time to receive needed immunizations to protect against contagious diseases, like measles, mumps, chickenpox, and the flu.

Why Do I Need a Well-Woman Exam and a Physical?

 

• To protect the overall health of women, we offer well-woman exams. These exams focus on the unique health needs of women and allow your provider to evaluate your reproductive system for abnormalities. 

 

• The clinicians perform Pap smears on-site, which tests your cervix for early signs of cell changes that may increase your risk for cervical cancer. You can also receive STD testing to prevent long-term health complications.

 

• Additionally, you can receive family planning services, including a variety of options for birth control to fit your family planning needs.
