Proactive Health Management with Annual Physicals

With our fast-paced lifestyles, it’s not uncommon to fall into the trap of dealing with health issues only when they demand our attention. The phrase 'prevention is better than cure,' however, rings true in every sense of the word and especially when it comes to our health. This brings us to the importance of annual physicals.

What to Expect in an Annual Physical

This is a comprehensive yearly check-up that evaluates your overall health. From checking vital signs like your blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature to carrying out various health screenings, the physical can paint a clear picture of your state of health. At Harper Health, our concierge medicine approach allows us to provide personalized attention and care during these physicals.

The Benefits of Regular Check-ups

• Early Detection: Regular physicals can help in identifying health conditions or diseases early, increasing the chances of effective treatment.

• Preventive Care: It's not just about checking for symptoms, these exams can also help in predicting potential health issues you may face in the future and offer preventive measures.

• Health Tracking: Annual exams provide a consistent record of your health journey, offering you and your doctor insight into any changes over time.

• Medication Review: It’s an opportunity for your doctor to review the medications you are taking and adjust dosages if necessary.
