Primary Care Covers The First Steps To Getting Healthy And Staying That Way
As the director of primary care at Mount Sinai, Dr. Aida Vega is a general internist who sees adult patients age 18 and up. If you’re one of the millions of Americans vowing to get healthy in 2012, make getting an annual checkup part of your new regimen. “Seeing your primary care physician is a great way to kick-start a healthier lifestyle,” says Dr. Vega. “And making it a habit to get an annual physical is an outstanding way to build a personalized relationship with your doctor and identify both things you’re at risk for and things in your lifestyle that are putting you at risk.”
