Annual Wellness Visit Specialist

How do annual wellness exams protect my health?

The goal of your annual wellness exam is to prevent health conditions by catching signs of problems at an early stage, long before you have symptoms, and with enough time to stop the developing condition from worsening.

A wellness exam gives your provider time to assess your overall health, evaluate your risk factors for chronic diseases, and run routine lab tests to be sure you don’t have signs of inflammation, high cholesterol, or diabetes.

The team at Maniya Health also has another important goal in mind when you come in for a wellness exam — they want to talk with you and hear about your concerns. Whether you’d like to lose weight or you have a nagging pain, no concern is too small or unimportant.

What services might I receive during my annual wellness exam?

During your wellness exam, your Maniya Health provider reviews your medical history, checks your weight, blood pressure, and heart rate, and performs a complete physical exam. Depending on your age, overall health, and the results of your exam, they may order lab work as well.

As primary care providers, they offer the full scope of wellness services. The services you receive depend on your individual needs. Here are a few examples of the health care services available at Maniya Health:

• Well-child exam
• Women’s health care, including Pap tests and menopause care
• Men’s health care, including testicular and prostate exams
• Vaccinations
• Chronic care management 
• Diet and exercise counseling
• Anxiety and depression screening and treatment

For the team at Maniya Health, it’s essential to prevent chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol, and lung problems. If you have a chronic disease, you can count on the team’s ongoing support to keep it under control.

What type of health screening might I need?

Adolescents are routinely screened for vision, hearing, growth, and development during their wellness exam. For adults, health screening recommendations are determined by your age and your risk factors.

The team at Maniya Health offers several types of screenings on-site. They also remind you when it’s time for health screenings that they don’t provide.

Adults should receive health screenings at the appropriate time for:

• Osteoporosis
• Colorectal cancer
• Breast cancer
• Prostate cancer
• Lung cancer
• Skin cancer
• Cervical cancer
• Abdominal aortic aneurysm
