In addition to detecting diseases and other chronic conditions, an annual exam and other preventive care can help you maintain healthy habits like physical activity and a well-rounded diet. It can also help you establish a routine and rapport with your primary care physician.

An annual physical is a crucial form of preventive care. Even if you feel perfectly healthy, your healthcare provider will run routine lab work and other diagnostic tests that can serve as valuable indicators for irregularities you wouldn’t be able to spot otherwise.

If you’re transitioning from an acute care setting or emergency room visit, you’ll receive hospital follow-up with your TRI-MED primary care provider. These visits allow our providers to review medication changes and test results following hospital and other acute care encounters, as well as provide a chance to evaluate new treatment options.

TRI-MED provides annual well-woman preventive care for adult women (age and developmentally appropriate), including cervical cancer screening, preconception care, and many services necessary for prenatal care. Other prenatal care and screening services necessary for optimal women’s health are referred to specialty providers.

As a Georgia Family Planning System (GFPS) family planning service site, TRI-MED provides access to high-quality pregnancy planning and prevention services integrated with other preventive health care for women, men, and adolescents.
