Types Of Health Screenings We Offer
The longer we’ve been seeing patients, the more we believe that old adage, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” And that’s why we are committed to educating our patients about healthy lifestyle habits and encouraging health screenings to catch any problems early. At North Laurel, we offer many of your annual labs and tests that can help us identify potential concerns and keep you on the path to health.
Why Get Regular Labs And Screenings?
We can detect many acute and chronic health conditions through annual blood work and other tests. For example, a comprehensive blood panel identifies potential issues like deficiencies, high cholesterol, and pre-diabetes/diabetes. It’s important to get a baseline to compare to year after year, so that we can tell if and when things start to trend toward abnormal. Perhaps most importantly, many of these conditions can be reversed when caught early.
Tests We Typically Offer
At North Laurel, we screen for major chronic conditions and other concerns using:
- Blood tests (including Diabetes)
- Blood pressure/Hypertension screening
- Physicals
- Routine well visits to track health over time
- Specialized tests as required
Our main goal is to build a relationship with our patients and help them track their health markers. Labs and screenings are just one of the tools in our toolbox. By seeing you regularly, we will not only be able to detect problems in blood work, but also through your in-person visits where we discuss any concerns in great detail. If more advanced testing is required, we will set you up with an appropriate trusted provider.
Regular health screenings are a key part of a healthy lifestyle and can significantly impact your long-term health. Don’t wait until you feel like something is seriously wrong – schedule your screening today and take control of your health. Together, we can help you live better for years to come.
