There are many diseases, illnesses and injuries that can be prevented by vaccination, early detection or other measures. Monitoring your health using the most up-to-date preventive health measures and clinical guidelines lets your doctor know how well you're doing and helps identify potential risks before there are complications.

If it's been a year since your last adult check-up, call for a complete preventive care exam.  A comprehensive exam includes a complete physical, routine diagnostic lab tests, a gyn exam for women, and other exams, tests or procedures, depending on your age and health. 

• Children are scheduled for periodic well-child exams to monitor their growth and development, and keep up with their immunizations
• Pregnancy testing and early prenatal care may be scheduled as soon as you think you may be pregnant.    
• Allergy shots, routine lab work, or blood pressure checks, are provided in between routine visits.
