Why Preventive Medicine
Email PagePrint Page
The traditional health care system historically has focused on expensive cures for illness and disease rather than focusing on effective prevention. The result is a national health crisis, in which more than 1.7 million Americans die each year from chronic diseases, accounting for about 70 percent of all U.S. deaths.
The good news is that, although chronic diseases are among the most common and costly of all health problems, they are also the most preventable.

Five diseases cause more than two-thirds of all U.S. deaths annually – heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (bronchitis, emphysema) and diabetes. Early detection plays a large role in aggressively treating these illnesses and in preventing long-term disability.

Preventive screenings, testing and follow-up are essential in providing you with the knowledge you need to address health problems in the early stages, when they are easier to treat and when treatment is more effective. Regular screenings for conditions such as high blood pressure, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, diabetes and obesity can have dramatic results in combating these conditions.

In addition, behavior modification, such as smoking cessation, exercise, reduced alcohol consumption and healthy eating, has been proven to significantly reduce the risk factors that underlie our nation’s biggest health problems. The Centers as well as The Prevention Plan™, also offered by U.S. Preventive Medicine, can also assist with these concerns.

The testing and diagnostics performed at our Centers are simple, painless and affordable and will provide you with the knowledge you need to improve the quality and longevity of your life to enjoy More Good Years™.
