ADOLESCENT CARE:

Adolescence is a time of rapid change in physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development. It’s important to schedule an annual wellness visit with your PCP to enhance long term health and discuss any concerns that may arise. Routine preventive health screening helps ensure that adolescents choose patterns of behavior and make decisions that enhance long-term health and permits early diagnosis and intervention when problems emerge.

During your wellness visit, your PCP will:

• Measure your height, weight, and blood pressure.
• Order any necessary tests to check your overall health, find certain diseases, or determine if you are at risk for certain health problems.
• Check your immunization record and catch you up on any necessary booster shots.
• Check your vision and hearing if necessary.
• Discuss any emotional or social concerns.
