Preventative Care

Every year billions of dollars are invested in taking care of patients with heart disease, diabetes, strokes, injuries from falls, cancer treatments etc. On top of this financial burden for the patient and the country as a whole, the lower quality of life leads to many social sufferings for the patient and surrounding family.
For the above reasons, preventative care should be the cornerstone of healthcare. From constant reminders by the clinician for lifestyle changes and smoking cessation to regularly scheduled screening for cancers, preventative medicine is the key to a healthier and happier society.
