At Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton, an RWJBarnabas Health facility, we do more than treat injuries and illnesses, we provide our community with resources and services that help people live longer and healthier. Our preventive care and wellness programs focus on educating patients on ways they can improve their health and avoid serious medical complications. We take a holistic approach to healing, and strive to help patients feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Your Annual Wellness Visit. Meeting with your primary care physician once a year is an important step that keeps you aware of your body’s current condition and what you can do in the future to avoid health risks. Since this is a general health visit, this is your chance to discuss any medical questions or concerns you have with your doctor. Let them know about any changes you’ve experienced in the past year, and make sure the check your blood pressure, cholesterol, body mass index (BMI) and other “numbers” that are important for your overall health and wellness.
You should also discuss any health screenings you may need going forward. Depending on your age and your family’s medical history, you could have an increased risk for certain types of diseases and cancer. While you can’t always reduce risk factors, you can plan out a screening schedule so that your doctor can diagnose these conditions in the early stages and start treatment before it becomes a major complication.
Our Health & Wellness Services. We are committed to making our local community a happier, healthier place for all. Our health and wellness services promote healthy lifestyles and provide you and your family with easy access to medical resources.
You do not have to figure out the ins-and-outs of healthy living alone. Learning more about health and wellness can often feel overwhelming or even discouraging, but with trusted, knowledgeable medical professionals helping you navigate all the information, you can create a wellness plan that suits your lifestyle and personal preferences.
We’ve got Hamilton and the surrounding areas covered with a network of primary care providers who are partners you can trust to not only treat you when you are sick, but guide you towards improved health and wellness. Our primary care locations are located in Hamilton, Lawrenceville Mercerville, Robbinsville, and Pennington, NJ.
