Wellness visits at St. Jude Neighborhood Health Centers can provide several insights into your overall health. Your provider will evaluate your current health status and discuss any concerns you may have. A typical wellness

visit evaluates your weight, blood pressure, preventative laboratory blood testing, as well as screening your risk for certain conditions or prevailing health issues. Based on the outcome, you and your physician may develop a custom plan to improve your health.

Sometimes, a simple lifestyle change is all it takes to improve your health and avoid diseases that can lower your quality of life. Unhealthy behaviors such as poor diet, sedentary lifestyles and tobacco use increase the likelihood of developing conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and some types of cancer. Research indicates that cardiovascular disease affects various people in California.

The condition, which includes stroke and heart diseases, accounts for 30% of the state’s mortality rate. About 4.2% of people in California live with a heart condition, while 2.5% live with cerebrovascular disease, which can cause a stroke. These conditions are largely preventable with early intervention and lifestyle changes. St. Jude Neighborhood Health Centers not only offers guidance and interventions to your concerns but also tailored treatments and therapies to help start your wellness journey.
