Preventive care focuses on keeping you well rather than treating illness after it starts.

What a wellness review may include

  • A conversation about your health history and family history
  • Lifestyle questions about sleep, activity and nutrition
  • A plan for age-appropriate screenings
  • Time for your own questions
