How to find a primary care doctor
A trusted primary care provider who is aware of your medical history is
one of the best ways to prevent future medical issues and keep your overall
health on the right track. Select a Lakeview Hospital primary care provider
to learn more and request an appointment.
What is preventive care?
Preventive care is self-care. And when we say “self-care,”
we don’t just mean facials and time alone (though those can be great
for your health, too). When you focus on
prevention, you work closely with your primary care provider to get to know your
baseline health. That way, if there are changes or unusual symptoms, it’s
easy to spot them before they get worse or become major issues.
So, show yourself some love, and stay feeling your best. Start with an
annual checkup at Lakeview Hospital.
Annual checkups
You may see your primary care provider more often, but we suggest seeing
them at least once a year for your annual wellness visit. At these visits,
you build a relationship with your provider, get personalized advice to
prevent disease, and discuss ways to improve well-being. A win-win-win.
Most health insurance companies pay for annual checkups, including Medicare,
which covers a
Medicare annual wellness visit. Lakeview Hospital is an in-network provider for most insurance plans in
the Northshore area, but it’s always best to confirm with your insurance
before your appointment.
