It is based on an annual comprehensive preventive medicine health assessment, which includes a review of your current health status and lifestyle issues, along with a complete physical examination. We’ll discuss ongoing preventive medicine, including nutrition, weight control, smoking cessation, exercise, and alcohol use, and vaccines to prevent influenza and travel-related diseases. This time is all yours—it provides you with an opportunity to talk with your doctor about anything on your mind, large or small. And it gives the doctor a chance to get to know you and your medical history thoroughly. After this point, as a participating patient in the program, you’ll receive internal medicine services, as well as telephone and e-mail access to your doctor. This means that to ask a question or seek advice, all you need to do is call or email. And whether it’s an unusually severe bout of hay fever, a persistent knee problem, or something more serious, you know that you’ll be talking with someone who knows you, and takes your health to heart. |
