Wellness Wednesday: Preventive Care
A new year is a perfect time to reset routines and focus on what helps you feel your best, both now and in the future. Preventive care is one of the simplest ways to support your overall health and well-being.
Preventive care isn’t just about addressing health concerns; it’s also about maintaining your health over time. Regular checkups, screenings, and conversations with your provider help you stay informed, manage risk factors, and make confident decisions about your physical and mental health.
Here are some preventive care resources to support your health:
- Annual wellness visit
- Routine immunizations
- Preventive health screenings (such as cholesterol, diabetes, and cancer screenings based on age and risk)
- Mental health screenings, including anxiety and depression screenings
- Additional preventive services recommended by your provider
