LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- As the winter months grow closer, UofL Health wants to remind you of the importance of getting regular check-ups with your doctor.
Now is the time to visit your doctor! Annual doctor's visits are the ideal time to talk with your primary care physician about any health updates or concerns.
"We want to catch anything as early as possible because early detection of any disease process, whether it be cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, allows us to intervene so that we can delay or even protect you from developing worsening outcomes and disease processes in the future," UofL Health Family Physician Dr. Luz Fernandez said in a Zoom conference on Thursday.
Annual check-ups will also help you establish a better relationship with your doctor. This can help patients feel more comfortable communicating about their health, which can sometimes be a hard task.
