Importance of an Annual Checkup/Well Checks
Annual checkups are important for your overall health because they can
prevent future issues and diagnose conditions in their early stages. Checkups
with your family medicine provider will give you the tools and knowledge
to live a long and healthy life. Family medicine providers also keep you
on schedule for recommended
screenings as you age.
