A Wellness Visit
A wellness visit, also known as a wellness check or preventive visit, is a scheduled appointment with a healthcare provider that prioritizes maintaining and enhancing overall health instead of addressing a specific illness or condition. These appointments are intended to proactively manage health and prevent future issues by identifying risk factors, screening for diseases, and offering guidance on healthy lifestyle choices.
