Health screenings are one of the best ways to protect your health and catch problems early when they are easiest to treat. Not every patient needs each of these screenings. You may need one or more depending on your age or risk factors. Talk with your doctor about which screenings you should schedule.
• Annual physicals
A yearly checkup on your overall health
• Blood pressure and cholesterol checks
Spot heart disease risks before symptoms appear
• Diabetes screening
Identify high blood sugar early and prevent complications
• Cancer screenings
Mammograms, prostate exams, colonoscopies and pap tests save lives
• Skin checks
Especially important if you spend time in the sun
• Mental health
Talking with your doctor about stress, anxiety or depression is as important as any physical screening
Prevention starts with a conversation.
