Screening Type

Blood Pressure Measurement

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is when the pressure inside your blood vessels is consistently high. With regular exams, your care team can get involved early, helping to prevent heart disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, and other serious health problems.

Cholesterol Test

High cholesterol levels can contribute to heart disease, blood vessel disease in your legs, and stroke. Regular cholesterol testing allows us to review your risk and take steps to manage it, including helping you with dietary changes, increasing physical activity, and even prescribing medication(s) if necessary.

Blood Glucose Test

Diabetes or elevated blood sugar is more common as we age and can lead to vision, heart, and kidney complications if left untreated. Regular screening for diabetes allows us to monitor your blood sugar and get involved early with dietary and lifestyle changes and medication if needed to help you manage your diabetes.

Colon Cancer Screening

Colorectal cancer is a significant cause of cancer in adults, and early detection can greatly improve outcomes. Screening tests like colonoscopies can detect growths in the colon that can lead to cancer, allowing for timely treatment and potentially saving lives.

Prostate Cancer Screening

Mammogram

Pelvic Exam

Bone Density Test (DEXA)

Osteoporosis is a cause of bones weakening and is more common concern as we age, particularly for women. A bone density test can assess your bone health and identify any signs of osteoporosis, helping to prevent broken bones and maintain your mobility and independence.

Eye Exam (for glaucoma, etc.) & Hearing Test

Maintaining good vision and hearing is essential for your quality of life and safety. Regular eye exams and hearing tests can detect age-related changes or conditions early, allowing for appropriate treatment or interventions to preserve your vision and hearing.

Skin Screenings

Lung Cancer

For older adults aged 65 to 80 with heavy smoking history or recent quit, an annual screening test using low dose computerized tomography (CT) can detect lung cancer early. Screening for lung cancer is a proactive step toward early detection and if present, a faster route to treatment and improved outcomes.
