What is wellness care?

Wellness care is collaborative medical care that helps you plan a healthy future. North Natomas Medical Center, Inc. offers wellness care for adults at every stage of life. Ongoing wellness care helps you reap the rewards of excellent health. 

What does wellness care include?

Because many of the most common conditions are often preventable, such as Type 2 diabetes and heart disease, wellness care focuses on prevention. It also goes beyond prevention to look at the factors that make you unique. Some of the many aspects of wellness care include: 

  • Physical exam
  • Preventive health screenings for chronic physical and mental conditions
  • Medical history review
  • Family medical history review
  • Risk factor assessment for physical and mental conditions
  • Review of current chronic conditions and treatment plans
  • Medication management
  • Lifestyle counseling
  • Nutrition counseling
  • Exercise counseling
  • Weight management
  • Vaccinations based on age
  • Discussion regarding your personal health and wellness goals

Wellness care changes at every age because the health needs and concerns of young adults are quite different from those of seniors.  

Also, wellness care varies with the person’s sex. For example, women’s health care appointments include screening for female-specific cancers while men’s health appointments check for male cancers, like prostate cancer. 

The North Natomas Medical Center, Inc. team works with you to understand your individual needs, preferences, and wellness goals, so they can provide specific advice to help you reach your goals.

How often do I need wellness care?

Generally, the team recommends wellness exams once a year for all adults. Wellness exams occur when you’re well or when your chronic conditions are well-managed. 

You can also schedule an acute care visit or more frequent chronic care management appointments based on your medical needs.

What are the benefits of wellness care?

Wellness care can make your life easier. Investing in wellness care when you’re still healthy can help prevent many chronic conditions like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.  

Ultimately, that means you’ll spend less money on health care over your lifetime. As you age, wellness care can help keep you out of the hospital and encourage an active healthy lifestyle as a senior.
