Why Women’s Preventive Care Matters

Many serious health conditions — including heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and several cancers — are highly treatable when caught early. Regular preventive care gives your provider the opportunity to identify risk factors before they become diagnoses, keep your screenings current, and build a relationship with you so that when concerns do arise, you already have a trusted provider who knows your history.

For many women, the annual wellness exam is the one appointment each year that covers all of this at once. It is one of the most valuable healthcare investments you can make.

Mental Health Support for Women

Women are diagnosed with depression and anxiety at higher rates than men, and many life transitions — including pregnancy, postpartum changes, perimenopause, and caregiving — carry particular mental health implications. At Heritage Family Medicine, mental health is part of every annual visit. We screen for depression and anxiety routinely, and if you want to explore further support, Healthy Minds Psychiatry is located in the same clinic. Dr. Rajwant Kler, DNP, PMHNP-BC provides psychiatric evaluations and medication management for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more.
