Annual wellness visits are your opportunity to take a proactive approach to your health. These visits are about more than just checking vital signs—they're a chance to build a relationship with your healthcare provider and create a personalized health plan.

What Happens During a Wellness Visit?

During your annual wellness visit, your provider will review your medical history, assess your current health status, update vaccinations, and screen for common conditions. It's also the perfect time to discuss any concerns or changes you've noticed.

Questions to Ask Your Provider

  • What screenings are recommended for my age and health history?
  • Are my medications still appropriate?
  • What lifestyle changes could improve my health?
  • What symptoms should I watch for between visits?
