The best medicine is prevention. At Pinnacle Family Medicine, our preventive care programs are designed to identify health risks early, when they are most treatable, and help you build habits that support long-term wellness.
Annual Wellness Exams
Your annual physical is more than a routine checkup. It is a comprehensive assessment of your current health status, risk factors, and health goals. During your wellness exam, your provider will:
- Review your complete medical and family history
- Perform a thorough physical examination
- Order age-appropriate lab work and screenings
- Review medications and immunization status
- Discuss nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management
- Create or update your personalized wellness plan
