Why is a yearly preventive exam important?

•  Focus is on prevention of illness, rather than treatment of problems
• Allows you and your physician time to "catch up" on changes in your own health and that of your family
• Allows a comprehensive review of your medications and tests that are recommended for your age group
• Keeps you involved in attaining your best health - now and the future
