Helping You Feel Whole for a Lifetime
At every age and stage of life, primary care empowers you and your family to feel healthy in body, mind and spirit. When you choose a primary care provider, you can begin what may be a lifelong partnership on the path to better health.
Seeing you annually, your primary care doctor will be familiar with your medical history and will keep your whole-person health in mind, too. They’ll work to help you feel better in more ways than one so you can feel whole. With our network of primary care physicians, it’s easy to find a doctor whose location and hours are right for you and your family.
Primary Care Doctors Help You Stay Well
As your partner in whole-person health, your primary care doctor measures key health indicators like these to help you stay on the right track with your overall wellness.
-
Blood Pressure
High blood pressure increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. Nutrition, physical activity, stress and heredity all play a role in determining your blood pressure. A blood pressure reading less than 120 over 80 is considered normal.
-
Blood Sugar
Glucose, the sugar stored in your blood, should be less than 100. Glucose levels that are too high or too low can indicate diabetes.
-
Cholesterol
The normal range for cholesterol is 200 or less. High total cholesterol can lead to heart attack or stroke. The level of HDL (good) and LDL (bad) cholesterol is also important to know.
-
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Your BMI is a measure of your height in relation to your weight. Typically, a healthy BMI is less than 25.
-
Family History
Many health risk factors are passed on within families. Knowing if a close relative has serious health issues can help motivate you to take charge of your health.
