Preventive Medicine | Chronic Disease Management
Screening tests like Mammograms, Colonoscopy, Bone Density Scan, certain blood tests are designed to pick up disease in its early stages or during active disease, however Preventive Medicine its an active process that involves many different things and aspects of medicine like Immunizations, certain medications, proper nutrition, eating a healthy diet, exercise programs, getting a good night sleep etc. that would help the patient to prevent disease in the first place.
The active process of Preventive Medicine involves not only your physicians participation but the patient and the patient’s family as well.
