5 Health Checkups You Shouldn’t Put Off

/in

September is a great time to check in on your health. Before the hustle of the holidays sets in, take a few minutes to make sure you and your family are staying on track.

Here are five health checkups worth putting on your calendar.

1. Schedule Your Annual Checkup

Regular visits help you and your provider keep track of your health, catch problems early, and talk about any concerns. NOAH offers routine checkups, screenings, immunizations, lab services, and more.

If you have Medicare, you may also qualify for a yearly Medicare Wellness Visit. These visits focus on prevention and your long-term health. 

2. Don’t Forget Your Teeth

You don’t have to wait until you have a toothache to see the dentist. Regular dental exams and cleanings help keep your teeth and gums healthy and can help find problems early.

3. Check In On Your Mental Health

Your mental health is part of your overall health. If you’ve been feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed, you don’t have to handle it alone.

NOAH offers counseling and psychiatry for adults and children ages 6 and up.

4. Ask About Preventative Screenings

Some health problems don’t cause symptoms at first. Your provider can help you understand which screenings you may need based on your age, health history, and risk factors. These may include screenings for conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or certain cancers. NOAH can help you create a plan that fits your needs.

5. Your Child‘s Checkup

Kids need regular checkups, too. Well-child visits help track growth and development, keep vaccines up to date, and give parents a chance to ask questions about their child’s health.
