🚨 You don’t have to be sick to go to the doctor 🚨 While studies actually show mixed results on whether or not the annual wellness visits reduce patient morbidity/mortality, it is known that they can help patients form better relationships with their providers, and can help prevent disease. Not only do these visits give patients the space to discuss any of their concerns, but it also allows for their PCP to discuss prevention strategies and to deliver recommended clinical preventive services, leading to the identification of previously unrecognized diagnoses. Whether it’s for recommended immunizations, blood pressure checks, cancer screenings, blood work, or any other routine checks, seeing your provider once a year can improve patients’ health in the long run. So what do you think?? Have you been to your doctor this year??
