Weekend Doctor: Wellness checks

Posted by Staff on September 30, 2023 - 6:00am

By Ashley O’Flaherty, CMA 
Supervisor, Blanchard Valley Medical Practices

It is important to have an annual wellness exam to maintain your overall health and to discuss preventative services you may need based on your age and condition. A wellness exam is important for both your mental and physical health and will help you reach your health goals. 

A lot can change in a year, so it is essential your healthcare provider has your medical records up to date. This is also a good time for you to reconnect with your provider and the provider to reconnect with you. 

Many screenings and assessments are available to ensure you are getting the most current, up-to-date knowledge of your health. Certain screenings can help identify underlying conditions where symptoms may never be present. This is important for not only you but those who may care for and manage your needs.
