Why is preventative care so important?

Preventative care is important because it protects your health and reduces your risk of potentially severe complications.

Meeting with Kelli at least once a year presents an opportunity to assess your general well-being and catch medical issues that might cause problems in the future. Appointments also provide a chance to ask questions, discuss concerns, and build a relationship with your primary care provider. These factors can help you live a longer, healthier, and more active life. 

What is preventative care?

Preventative care is an umbrella term for various medical services that aim to identify health problems before they present obvious symptoms. Getting screened for conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol can provide peace of mind and ensure you manage them before they cause more severe issues. 

What services does preventative care provide?

At IMPACT Practitioner Services, LLC, Kelli provides preventative care via house calls. As a mobile provider, she visits your home or office and conducts the same services you would get at a traditional doctor’s office. Depending on your age and health history, she might suggest:


A physical exam

A physical exam checks your general health and wellness. During a physical, Kelli weighs and measures you, checks your blood pressure, and listens to your heart and lungs with a stethoscope. She also examines your skin, gently palpates (presses on) your internal organs, and will order screening mammograms, PSA blood screening and appropriate Colorectal screenings such as Colonoscopy, FIT or Cologuard if needed.


Laboratory testing

Laboratory testing refers to blood work, urinalysis, and bacterial cultures. These tests analyze bodily fluids to gain insights into your health. Kelli collects these samples during house calls and then delivers them to a nearby lab for analysis. 


Immunizations

Immunizations, or vaccines, train your immune system to identify and defend itself against harmful invaders, like viruses and bacteria. Staying current on your immunizations significantly reduces your risk of contagious illness and protects your loved ones and the community.


Health counseling

Kelli uses health counseling to manage chronic conditions like hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes. She teaches you how to make healthy lifestyle choices that reduce the risk of complications and improve your general well-being. Depending on your needs, she may offer exercise guidance, nutritional advice, or tips for quitting smoking.
