18-Preventive Care Visits

This program is designed to educate the general public on the importance of preventive care visits as a critical element of primary care. Many patients are unsure why specific screenings and tests are performed or how they benefit from them. Additionally, we will discuss how proper preparation before an appointment can lead to a smoother and more efficient visit. As part of this program, we will define and explore the AAFP and USPSTF guidelines, emphasizing why annual wellness exams are essential and how they contribute to disease prevention. By actively participating in these visits, patients can significantly reduce their risk of developing chronic and potentially life—threatening conditions. Since screening recommendations frequently evolve, we will also review the latest guideline updates and discuss their impact on patient care. Through this initiative, we aim to empower individuals with knowledge, enabling them to take a proactive role in their health and well—being. Min: 10
