Preventive Health also provides follow up Preventive Care, Primary Care and Acute Care at our Preventive Health Clinic. Our mission at Preventive Health is to shift the focus of healthcare from reactive and important first step in this mission. Our goal with the Preventive Health Clinic is to provide access to additional healthcare and services that may be needed as a result of the health screening.
The purpose of health screening is to provide each patient with information and guidance regarding their current state of health. Depending upon the results of health screening, follow up care may be recommended to address a medical issue before symptoms manifest. Many health screening participants have a primary care provider (PCP) and at the patient request we will forward on their health screening results to their PC. However many of our health screenings participants do not have PCP and a Preventive Health Clinic serves as an option for follow up care with the same clinical team that provides our screenings services.
