Preventive medicine focuses on reducing the risk of chronic diseases by looking at your current health condition, risk for certain conditions and long-term health to better understand how to keep your body healthy.
Preventive medicine is unique to your health needs and goals. It’s also a collaboration between you and your health care provider that helps you maintain optimal health.
Some of the most common preventive medicine services that the Rose Medical Clinic team offers include:
A physical exam assesses your overall health. Everybody should schedule a visit for an annual exam at least once a year to evaluate their overall health. The team offers annual, school, and pre-employment physicals to meet your preventive care needs.
Whether your infant needs their initial vaccines or you need an annual flu shot, the team offers a broad range of vaccines. They can also administer the COVID-19 vaccine to you and your family members.
If you’re sick, or the team finds symptoms of a potential chronic disease, they offer comprehensive blood work to understand your health condition in greater detail.
It’s important to have a health care team you and your family can trust when you aren’t feeling well. The team at Rose Medical Clinic offers complete care for all types of illnesses, including strep throat, sinus infections, and influenza (flu).
Preventing chronic diseases from progressing can protect you from other health complications. If you have diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), or other chronic disease, the team can develop a treatment plan to help you manage your condition.
