The Importance of Regular Wellness Checkups

Taking charge of your health starts with regular wellness checkups. These routine screenings can detect potential health problems before they escalate, allowing for early treatment and better long-term health outcomes. Regular screenings assess your overall health, monitor important markers like blood sugar, cholesterol, and organ function, and help prevent serious conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and kidney or liver issues.

By staying proactive with routine health checks, you not only ensure timely interventions but also get the opportunity to make informed decisions about your lifestyle and treatment options. Early detection is key in managing health concerns, especially those that often go unnoticed until they are more advanced.

At Crawford County Memorial Hospital (CCMH), we offer quarterly wellness screenings to help you stay on top of your health. Our Basic Wellness Screening, available for just $45, includes essential tests such as a Complete Blood Count (CBC), Lipid Panel (cholesterol and triglycerides), and a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel to assess blood sugar, electrolyte balance, and organ function. Additional tests, like Thyroid Function Screening (TSH) for $10, PSA screening for $20, and A1C blood sugar testing for $25 (for those diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes), are also available.

Your health is your most valuable asset, and investing in regular checkups is one of the best ways to protect it. Many serious health conditions can develop quietly, without noticeable symptoms. By the time they become apparent, they may have already progressed, making treatment more difficult and outcomes less favorable. Regular wellness screenings provide you with the opportunity to catch these issues early, giving you and your healthcare team the chance to address them before they become serious.

Don’t wait until you feel sick to schedule a screening—take control of your health now! Whether it’s checking your cholesterol, monitoring your thyroid function, or staying on top of your blood sugar, regular testing gives you peace of mind and the information you need to make informed choices about your health. Make it a priority to schedule a wellness screening at CCMH during our quarterly events. By investing in your health today, you’re not only taking care of yourself now but also securing a healthier future.
