Preventative Medicine Specialist

What is preventive medicine?

Preventive medicine is a branch of health care focused on helping patients to live a long and healthy life. Detecting and preventing chronic disease, lowering your risks, and improving your health are the main goals of preventive medicine services.

Your Macomb Medical Clinic provider also educates you on how to implement suitable healthy lifestyle changes and minimize any environmental factors that might be worsening your health.

Preventive medicine services greatly decrease the risk of chronic disease by detecting problems even before you notice any symptoms.

Why should I get a preventive screening?

Macomb Medical Clinic offers numerous preventive screenings that can identify early signs of serious chronic health conditions. Some of the typical preventive screenings include:

• Thyroid panel

The sooner certain health complications are detected, the earlier treatment can begin. This improves your chances of recovery and halting disease progression.
