Unlock the Secrets to Wellness: The Power of Annual Physicals at Harper Health

At Harper Health we understand that health often takes a backseat amidst the balancing act of work, social life and the unending punch list of to-dos. However, at Harper Health, we firmly believe in the adage "Prevention is better than cure". This brings us to the topic of today's discussion - Annual Physicals - an underestimated superhero in the realm of healthcare.

The ‘Check-Up’ on Annual Physicals

Annual physicals, in essence, are your regular health tune-ups. They involve a set of medical examinations performed by your doctor to determine your general health status. This comprehensive health check includes assessing your medical history, vital signs, general appearance, heart and lung function, as well as reviewing your diet and exercise habits.

With today's shift towards pro-active health care, annual physicals act as a vital tool to spot potential trouble areas and nip health risks in the bud. They function not just as a problem detection process, but also as a strategic planning process for your physical health.

How to Make the Most Out Of Your Annual Physical

The effectiveness of annual physicals doesn't lie solely in the hands of your healthcare provider. As patients, you play a huge role in harnessing the power of these checkups. Here's how:
