Take Action For Your Health Today!

Researches and studies have shown over time that early detection is the key to a successful treatment and prevention of any disease!

Could you be at risk of undetected health problem and not even know it?

Good health contributes to quality of life. But the good health, which everyone desires, does not happen on its own. Everyone must act to reduce the risk of undetected illness. Make it your personal mission to be healthy!.

You can start protecting and improving your health today by scheduling an annual physical exam. Your trusted family physician will give you a battery of non-invasive health screening tests that might report a risk of some life threatening disease. Many of these (e.g., colon cancer) present no obvious symptoms, until it is too late to reverse the deadly course of the disease.

The Recommended Preventive Health Screenings timetable presented below is based on current guidelines from various expert resources. We keep the timetable up to date, as medical studies lead researchers to continually revise their opinions of the most effective health screening protocols.

The screening frequencies shown are suitable for patients, whose regular screenings report normal results. If a screening test reveals a medical problem, then subsequent screenings must occur more frequently.

If you have general questions about screenings, your healthcare insurance provider can provide much detailed information. At the conclusion of your annual physical exam, your family physician may recommend additional screening tests, which reflect your family history and personal health needs.
