Are you wondering why you need an annual health screening? MainStreet Family Care is here to tell you all the benefits of yearly screenings!
The Benefits Of Health Screenings
Receiving an annual screening can provide a huge benefit to your long-term health, especially for those aged 40 and older. Getting checked out once a year gives you and your primary care provider a snapshot of your overall health and even how you could improve your health. Additionally, annual check-ups could uncover any health conditions or risks of health problems you were previously unaware of.
At MainStreet Family Care, we perform health screenings with our primary care services! We would love to help you understand your overall health and wellness, as well as help with preventative care.

Overall Wellness
Even if you feel as though your overall wellness is in top shape, recommended screenings can help you confirm these feelings as well as uncover any risk factors. Providers will also take special note of your family history, as well as notate anything you have been struggling with recently.
During a yearly health screening, your provider will check your vital signs, perform a physical, and even do a blood test and check your blood pressure. Each of these assessments and test results will help them understand your overall wellness and how it can be improved. To learn more about annual physical exams, visit our Annual Physicals page.
In addition to helping you understand your overall wellness, primary care providers can find any issues you face and refer you to specialists to help you. They will also work alongside your specialists to curate exceptional treatment plans for you, and hopefully make your symptoms easier to treat. The goal of this is to improve your overall wellness as well as improve your quality of life.
Prevention
Along with checking on your current health, annual health screenings can allow your provider to tailor a preventative health care plan for your specific health needs. Preventive services include:
- Weight loss plans
- Diet and exercise regimens
- Plans to help you quit smoking
Focusing on preventative care can reduce your risk for a host of diseases and illnesses like:
- Various cancers (breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer, etc.)
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
To effectively prevent future diseases and illnesses, your primary care provider will combine their knowledge of your family history and current health status to tailor the perfect plan for you.
