New Year, Healthier You: Start With a Wellness Visit
Answer a few questions and we'll provide you with a list of primary care providers that best fit your needs.
A new year is the perfect time to reset your routines and prioritize what matters most—your health. While resolutions often focus on quick wins, lasting health and wellness starts with understanding where you are today and making positive changes. Making your health part of your New Year’s resolution is about building a strong foundation that supports your goals all year long.
One of the easiest and most effective first steps toward better health is scheduling your annual wellness visit with a primary care provider. This visit is designed to focus on prevention, while also addressing any problems or concerns. It’s a chance to review your overall health, discuss lifestyle habits, update screenings or immunizations, and talk through any concerns before they become serious. Think of it as a yearly check-in that keeps you on track.
“It gives us time to discuss preventative measures that keep patients healthy throughout the year,” says Joseph Allen, MD, a Premier Physician Network primary care provider. “What sets it apart from other visits is that we get to see you when you’re healthy. It also gives us a chance to review preventative screening tests and decide what may be appropriate for each individual. It’s a great way to build the relationship between a patient and provider, as well.”
Knowing your health baseline is especially powerful. Baseline measurements—like blood pressure, bloodwork levels, and health history—give you and your provider a clear starting point. Over time, these benchmarks help identify trends, catch significant changes early, and help guide your provider in making personalized recommendations for your health. That insight can set you up for long-term success and help you make confident, informed decisions about your health.
Make this the year you follow through. Schedule your annual wellness visit with a primary care provider today. If you already have one, you can schedule online through MyChart, or call the office to make an appointment.
