AxessPointe Takes Women’s Health Seriously
Health screenings are important for all family members of all ages, however, here at AxessPointe, we want to take a moment to focus on and educate on the importance of Women’s Health. With timely, effective and affordable health services for women of all ages, we can focus on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that could affect a woman’s emotional and physical well-being. The most effective way to accomplish this is with comprehensive medical exams.
Comprehensive Medical Exams – typically include lab tests, chest x-rays, pulmonary function testing, audiograms, CAT scans, EKG’s, stress tests, vascular age tests, urinalysis, and mammograms. Most of these screening tests are age-specific and may not be needed every year. So over the next few weeks, we will break down these recommended health screenings by age-appropriate groups.
