Preventive Care

Warren Clinic believes basic preventive healthcare services are especially important as part of routine healthcare.

As an example, in the last 30 years many improvements have been made in preventing and treating illnesses such as heart disease and stroke. Death rates from cardiovascular disease have declined as a result, mainly because so many people have made positive behavior and lifestyle changes. About half of all deaths from heart disease are sudden and unexpected, so there's little opportunity for treatment. For people at risk of sudden death, prevention is the key.

That is why more effort must be focused on prevention. Here are some of the risk factors can be modified, treated or controlled:

Tobacco use
High blood cholesterol
High blood pressure
Physical inactivity
Obesity and overweight
Diabetes mellitus

By focusing on prevention, Warren Clinic can have a major impact on people's health. There are many strategies patients can discuss with their healthcare provider. Prevention costs less than expensive medical interventions, and in the long run brings more benefits.

Many insurance plans cover preventive services. Call the number on your insurance identification card to ask what your specific plan covers.
