WHY ARE REGULAR CHECKUPS IMPORTANT?

Preventive care can be life-changing.

CATCH PROBLEMS EARLY

Routine checkups help identify potential health concerns at an early stage when treatment is likely to work best.

PREVENT FUTURE ILLNESS

Preventive care can help you and your doctor identify lifestyle changes you can make to avoid certain conditions.

EVALUATE YOUR MEDICATIONS

Your doctor’s appointment is a chance to review your medications, note any changes affecting your treatment, and determine if adjustments are needed.

MANAGE CHRONIC CONDITIONS

Routine checkups help you take control of your life by keeping your chronic conditions in check, managing your symptoms, and potentially slowing disease progression.

TAKE YOUR HEALTH OFF HOLD

It’s time to make an
effort, not an
excuse.
