The Fast Pace Health scope of care includes:

The goal of an annual wellness visit is to provide your local provider with a complete personal and family health history and help prevent any future health problems by maintaining a recurring health journey with you. We provide the tools and information to set you on the correct path for each year.

ANNUAL WELLNESS IS ABOUT YOU AND YOUR HEALTH.

Taking ownership of your health and living a healthy lifestyle today will allow you to be healthier in the future.

During your annual wellness visit, you will have a conversation with the Fast Pace Health provider to discuss your health history, any concerns you may have regarding your health, and review your medications and immunizations. Your local provider will also review your existing health problems to determine what health issues may develop in the future and how to prevent them.
