At OccuMed Primary Care in Whiting, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive preventative care services tailored to meet the needs of each patient. Our approach prioritizes lasting relationships with our patients, ensuring they receive the high-quality care they deserve.

Early Detection and Intervention

Preventative care is crucial because it focuses on early detection and intervention, which can significantly reduce the risk of severe health issues. At OccuMed, we offer a wide range of preventative services, including adult immunizations, lifestyle counseling, and cancer screenings. These services are designed to help detect potential health problems before they become serious, empowering you to take control of your health.

Adult Immunizations

Adult immunizations are an essential part of preventative care. Vaccines help protect you from various diseases and conditions, ensuring you remain healthy and active. Our healthcare team at OccuMed stays up-to-date with the latest vaccination recommendations, providing expert guidance on which immunizations are right for you based on your age, health history, and lifestyle.

Lifestyle Counseling

Lifestyle counseling is another critical component of our preventative care offerings. Our experienced healthcare professionals work with patients to assess their current lifestyle and identify areas for improvement. Whether it’s addressing smoking cessation, weight management, or stress reduction, we provide the tools and support needed to make meaningful changes. By focusing on lifestyle modifications, we help patients diminish their risk of chronic diseases and improve their quality of life.

Cancer Screenings

Cancer screenings, such as those for cervical, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers, are vital in detecting early signs of cancer when treatment can be most effective. At OccuMed, we prioritize these screenings as part of our preventative care strategy, ensuring patients receive timely and accurate assessments. Our compassionate care team is here to guide you through the screening process and provide clear, understandable information.

Lab Testing

In addition to immunizations and cancer screenings, we offer a variety of lab tests and health screenings as part of our preventative care services. These tests can identify underlying health issues that may not present any symptoms yet, allowing for early intervention and treatment. Our team works with patients to determine which tests are appropriate based on age, family medical history, and lifestyle factors.

Taking the First Step

Taking proactive steps towards better health is easier than you might think. Start by scheduling a comprehensive wellness exam at OccuMed. During this visit, our skilled physicians will review your medical history, conduct necessary screenings, and develop a care plan that aligns with your lifestyle and health goals. This plan may include regular follow-ups, recommended lifestyle changes, and specific preventative measures tailored to your needs.
