Health Screening is a must for all of our adult patients!

 

If it’s your 50th or 65th birthday, we want you to make a health checkup part of your celebration.

 
“There are a lot of health factors that increasingly come into play as we age,” said Paul Bachman, M.D., a medical director for Hudson Headwaters. “One of the best ways to ensure that you stay healthy is to take advantage of the medical screening procedures that have been developed over the past few decades.”
 
Listed below are some of the screening procedures generally recommended for men and women as they turn 50 or 65.
 
“These are general guidelines,” Dr. Bachman advises. “Consideration for some of these procedures will also vary based on your medical history, including family history. It’s a good idea to discuss what is right for you with your own physician. There’s no denying the old saying: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
