Wellness Visits
Family Care Partners Wellness Approach
Your entire care team is focused on keeping you healthy. We encourage you to get regular check-ups and communicate with your doctor and care coordinator. We believe that early detection of medical problems and timely intervention for treatment is in the best interest of our patients’ physical and financial health. We offer many preventive screenings and our Well Woman programs are designed to keep you and your family happy and healthy, while avoiding the potential for high out-of-pocket costs.
WELL WOMAN VISITS
We recommend that all women who are sexually active or over the age of 21 should have annual gynecological exams and wellness screenings to maintain their health. During your "Well Woman" visits, your physician and nurse practitioner perform a routine physical exam, which includes a clinical breast exam and pelvic exam. It is also important for all women, regardless of age, to have a Pap test as part of their routine health exam to aid in the early detection of cancer. Once you reach age 65, however, you can discuss your risk factors with our family physician to determine the need to continue having Pap tests.
