Preventive Annual Exams (Wellness Exams)

Schedule your preventive annual exam today!

Staying healthy begins with preventive care. A yearly wellness exam gives you dedicated time with a healthcare provider to review recommended screenings, discuss your health goals, and catch potential concerns early. Whether you’re feeling great or have questions about your well-being, annual visits play an important role in your long-term health.

What Is a Preventive Annual Exam?

A preventive annual exam—also called a wellness exam—is a routine visit focused entirely on your overall health. It is not about addressing a specific illness or problem. Instead, your provider uses this time to evaluate your general health, ask about lifestyle habits, and recommend screenings that match your age and medical history.

Why Annual Preventive Care Matters

Even if you feel healthy, an annual exam is one of the best tools to maintain long-term wellness.

You’ll leave your visit with a plan designed to support your long-term health, including recommended follow-up testing or lifestyle guidance.

Annual exams are recommended for:
