Disease Prevention Begins with a Test
Disease prevention Baselines
Disease prevention is more than getting a shot here and there and practicing good hygiene. It is about screening your health and establishing baselines. It’s about discussing results of your health screens and health risk assessments with your physician and establishing a wellness plan in order to maintain health and to keep disease away.
First Step to Disease Prevention
One of the first steps of disease prevention is making sure that you are currently disease free and to set up a baseline of your current health. These checks can be done through various lab tests that check your cardiovascular health, the health of your liver, your sexual health, your thyroid, as well as your risks of acquiring cancer and diabetes.
Disease Prevention Assessment
One way to get a complete picture on what you need to do to prevent diseases is through a health risk assessment. A health-risk assessment is a complete work-up involving a series of lab tests and health history questions in order to determine your predisposition to disease, as well as your overall general health.
You can then take the health risk assessment to your physician for review. Your physician will then have all the necessary information to get you on track to better health.
Physicians and Disease Prevention
If you would prefer to have a better understanding of the results of your lab tests and health screens before you go to see your physician, or if you don’t currently have a physician, HealthCheckUSA offers a physician interpretation service. A board-certified physician, who is affiliated with HealthCheck, can interpret your results for you. Their interpretation will be provided with 72 hours of the test completion and will be confidential.
You must choose the physician interpretation option before completing your online order. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact one of our friendly customer service representatives.
