Staying healthy is good for your body and your wallet. When you take care of your health now, you can avoid bigger and more expensive problems later. 

One of the best ways to stay healthy is by seeing your primary care provider for regular checkups and preventive screenings. These visits help find health problems early, when they are often easier and less costly to treat.

Many health problems do not show clear signs at first. Conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease can develop slowly without you knowing. Regular checkups help catch these problems early before they turn into something more serious.Tracey Peachey, FNP-BC

How preventive care helps save money

Seeing your primary care provider regularly can help you:

  • Catch health problems early
  • Avoid emergency room visits
  • Prevent hospital stays
  • Reduce the need for long-term medications
  • Miss fewer days of work or school

Preventive care also helps your provider get to know you and your health history. This leads to care that is more personal and focused on what you need most.

What happens at a checkup

A routine visit may include:

  • Checking blood pressure, weight, and height
  • Talking about how you feel day to day
  • Reviewing family health history
  • Ordering recommended screenings or lab tests
  • Answering questions about diet, sleep, stress, and exercise

Even small concerns matter. Feeling tired, stressed, or achy may seem normal, but talking about them early can help stop them from becoming bigger problems later.
Small steps today, big savings tomorrow

Taking care of your health now helps protect your future. Preventive care supports a longer, healthier life and helps avoid surprise medical bills down the road.
Wellness is not just about going to the doctor when you feel sick. It is about staying ahead of problems and making smart choices for your health and your budget.

Because staying well today can help save you money tomorrow. Find a primary care provider for you and your family at myrhc.net/acceptingnew
