A new year is upon us, and we are all looking for ways to improve our health. An important way to do so is to get an annual physical exam.
Getting a physical exam provides us with an opportunity to check our overall health and prevent any health issues from becoming more serious. It can also cultivate a relationship with a primary healthcare provider who can help:
· Manage current health issues
· Prevent illnesses
· Monitor the risk of chronic disease
· Identify illnesses that don’t have symptoms
· Monitor your weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and basic body chemistry
· Adjust your lifestyle to one that is suitable for your age
Even if you feel fine, it is a good idea to see your healthcare provider to ensure you are taking the right steps to maintain and improve your health.
If you would like to receive a physical exam, you can schedule an appointment with a physician at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center’s Ambulatory Care Center. Please call (718) 206-7001.
