We should not only think about health when we are sick. At Vida Care Medical Center, we understand that true health and wellness start long before signs of illness. That’s why our staff concentrates on preventive care — a holistic approach to keeping you strong, catching risks early and ensuring your overall health at all ages.
Whether you live in Garland, Plano, or Dallas, TX the caring bilingual staff (English and Spanish) at Miracle Health Clinic is here to assist patients in remaining proactive about their health through regular check-ups, screenings and personalized care plans.
What Is Preventive Care?
Preventive care is anything you do to prevent illness or detect health problems early. Instead of waiting for symptoms to precipitate a visit, preventive medicine is all about early and often — interventions such as regular checkups and tests (such as mammography or colonoscopy) along with lifestyle changes that keep you ahead of disease.
- Some of the preventative care services are:
- Annual physical exams
- Vaccinations and immunizations
- Blood pressure and cholesterol checks
- Cancer and diabetes screenings
- Nutritional and lifestyle counseling
- Mental health assessments
We integrate these key services at Vida Care Medical Center to bring you a complete, comprehensive care experience focused on your long-term health.
Why We Need to Take Preventive Care Seriously
Early Detection Saves Lives
Many health conditions — including diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease — progress quietly over time and may not have easily identifiable symptoms until they are advanced. Those are the kinds of conditions our providers can catch early, when they are most treatable or even reversible.
It’s Cost-Effective
Disease prevention or early detection is often cheaper than dealing with advanced disease. So, you’ll be saving yourself time, probably stress and even more money in the future by investing a short amount of time now.
Better Quality of Life
Anti-nausea is just not taking a shower so you don’t get sick; it is about feeling your best everyday. Once you identify any underlying health issues that may be inhibiting your ability to get up in the morning, you can take steps to boost your energy, sleep better, increase productivity and improve mood.
