How does primary care prevent health problems?

Mansfield Primary Care Doctors prioritize helping you stay healthy and preventing illnesses and chronic health conditions.

Your primary care provider lowers your risk of health problems by providing two essential services: health screenings and risk assessments.

Risk assessments

Risk assessments determine your chances of developing a chronic disease. Your provider learns about your medical history and lifestyle habits, looking for factors known to increase your chances of problems, such as:

• Following an unhealthy diet
• Being overweight
• Not exercising
• Smoking
• Excessive alcohol use
• Having high blood pressure
• Having high blood sugar
• Having high cholesterol

Your provider helps prevent chronic diseases by creating a plan to change your risk factors.

Health screenings

A health screening is a test to find early signs of a health problem before you have symptoms. Early detection means you can make lifestyle changes or begin treatments to prevent the early signs from becoming a full-blown, incurable disease. 

Examples of health screenings include running blood tests, checking your blood pressure, and getting a mammogram (screening for breast cancer), colonoscopy (screening for colon cancer), or bone density test (screening for osteoporosis).
