Preventive Health


 

An annual health exam is an important part of your medical care. It provides an opportunity to discuss ways to minimize health risks and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Your visit will include appropriate screening, a physical examination, and counseling pertinent to your health needs. Typically, your physical exam will include a breast exam, pelvic exam, and overall assessment of your health. Several screening tests may be recommended as well, including: cervical cancer screening (Pap Smear), breast cancer screening (mammogram), screening for sexually transmitted infections, colorectal cancer screening (colonoscopy), and hereditary cancer screening.
