Your health is important!

Did you know:

Your physicians work together to coordinate your care

Your primary doctor coordinates your health care by ordering lab work, like blood sugar (A1c) or cholesterol tests, and preventive screenings, like a mammogram or colonoscopy. Your primary doctor also coordinates treatments with other providers so you get the right care when and where you need it.

Activity is essential for your physical and mental health

Find an activity or two that you enjoy and will keep doing. Exercise does not have to be boring, or cost a lot of money. Your doctor can provide advice about the type and level of exercise that's best for you. Activity can:

• Lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels
• Boost your ability to do daily activities and prevent falls
• Raise your quality of life
• Build up your mental well being

Getting a flu shot is an annual event

Flu season often starts in early fall and can last into late spring. Many doctors like to give flu shots early so the vaccine will last through the whole season. If flu season is not over, it’s not too late to get the shot.
