Prevention & Wellness Exams Q & A
What are prevention and wellness exams?
Prevention and wellness exams are comprehensive evaluations focused on promoting good health and well-being.
Chronic disease, which includes any health condition that lasts three or more months, affects 133 million Americans. These diseases not only affect your physical health but may also lead to disabilities that affect your mental and social health. Many common chronic diseases, such as heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, can be prevented.
At Clínica Médica Familiar, the family medicine practitioners focus on disease prevention and health promotion. The team offers prevention and wellness exams to provide you with the tools and knowledge you need to optimize your health and prevent the onset of disease.
What can I expect during a prevention and wellness exam?
You can expect comprehensive and compassionate care when you come in for your prevention and wellness exam at Clínica Médica Familiar. During your exam, the team asks detailed questions to better understand your overall health and wellness. In addition to your health concerns and medical history, the team also asks about your diet, exercise routine, and life stresses.

Depending on your age, the team may also recommend colon cancer screening or a bone density test for osteoporosis.
After your exam, the team reviews their findings with you and together you develop a plan focused on preventing disease and promoting overall health and wellness. Your plan may include vaccinations, diet modification, an exercise program, and techniques to manage stress.
