What are wellness visits?

Wellness visits include a traditional physical exam but go above and beyond to examine and maintain your long-term health. You schedule these visits even when you’re perfectly healthy so you can monitor your health and wellness.

The team at Summit Health Family & Urgent Care helps you set and work on specific wellness goals, such as:

• Weight loss
• Smoking cessation
• Lowering your blood pressure
• Reversing prediabetes
• Managing a chronic condition

You can bring up any concerns you’ve had since your last visit to the Summit Health Family & Urgent Care office and receive treatment for any ongoing health conditions.

What should I expect during a wellness visit?

Your wellness visit starts with a detailed review of your medical history. The team identifies the parts of your health to target with individualized wellness recommendations. They can then begin the physical examination portion of your wellness visit.

During a physical exam, the team takes height and weight measurements and then reads your vital signs. Your vital signs are your blood pressure, respiratory rate, and heart rate, and they can tell you a lot about your health.

The team also asks a series of simple questions about your health. Depending on your answers and their findings, they may recommend additional tests like bloodwork, urinalysis, or X-ray imaging.

How do wellness visits benefit me?

Each of your wellness visits is an opportunity to update your medical data so you can track your health over time. This makes it easier for the team to detect trends in your health and identify potential areas of concern, even if you don’t have any symptoms.

The team at Summit Health Family & Urgent Care provides you with a personalized treatment plan so you can work on improving your health. They can help you:

• Change your diet
• Exercise more often
• Cut back on alcohol
• Stop smoking
• Get better sleep
• Reduce stress

Taking these steps can help you manage your health before complications occur or stop medical issues from getting worse. During your next wellness visit, you may notice that your test results have changed for the better because of your healthy lifestyle changes.

A wellness visit allows you to check in on your overall well-being and learn ways to enhance it. Call Summit Health Family & Urgent Care or book your appointment online today.
