BENEFITS OF ANNUAL WELLNESS EXAMS

For most people, annual physicals have been replaced by periodic wellness exams based on age and general health. While it may be tempting to think of these visits as optional, they provide a unique opportunity for exchanging vital information with your doctor. A physical exam gives your doctor a basis for comparison as your physical

condition changes with age – and it gives you the chance to ask questions and build a relationship with your doctor.

During your checkup, you should expect both conversational probing and physical screenings for various conditions, as well as more general tests for body mass index (MBI) and to spot hearing loss or visual impairment. Together, these screenings represent a shift in focus from early diagnosis to prevention. read more and review wellness calendar
