July marks the halfway point in the year—giving a natural time to pause and reflect on the year thus far. For many people, summer is filled with vacations, ball games, cookouts, camps and trying to squeeze every bit of fun out the summer months. With so much going on, it makes it easy to put your health on the back burner.
At Primary Health Solutions, we’re here to help prioritize your health. A mid-year health check is a great opportunity to assess your health care needs and figure out what needs to happen for a health second half of the year.
Schedule Your Annual Primary Care Visit
Your primary care provider is your partner to help maintain your overall health. An annual checkup provides an opportunity to discuss any health concerns, review medications, monitor chronic conditions and stay current on recommended screenings.
Even if you don’t feel like you’re experiencing any issues, preventive care helps identify potential issues early—often before symptoms appear. If you haven’t seen your provider this year, now is the perfect time to schedule your annual visit before the end of the year.
Don’t Miss Your Dental Cleaning
When you think of your overall health, you often focus on diet and exercise. But, your oral health is closely connected to your overall health and wellbeing. Regular dental cleanings help to prevent cavities and gum disease. Good oral hygiene helps keep harmful bacteria from spreading and causing inflammation throughout your entire body.
Has it been six months or longer since your last cleaning? Consider scheduling an appointment to your smile—and your health—on track.
Get on Track for Back-to-School Season
The new school year will be here before you know it. Summer is one of the busiest times of the year for school and sports physicals, plus required immunizations before school begins.
Avoid the last-minute rush while ensuring students are prepared for a successful school year. Whether your child is entering kindergarten, joining a sports team or simply needs updated immunizations, with no appointment needed, Express Care is here to help families check those important items off their back-to-school checklist.
Express Care Hours:
Monday – Friday: 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. (Available at both Hamilton West & Middletown Verity)
Saturday: 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. (Hamilton West Location Only)
Schedule Your Annual Medicare Wellness Visit
If you’re enrolled in Medicare, your annual wellness visit is such an important preventative service that assesses your overall health and helps identify any potential risk factors.
This yearly visit focuses on your overall health and helps identify risk factors before they become larger concerns. During the appointment, your provider will review your health history, discuss recommended screenings and work with you to develop a personalized plan for maintaining your health and independence.
It’s a simple step that can make a meaningful difference in helping you stay healthy and active for years to come.
Where to Go for Unexpected Illness and Injuries
Summer often brings unexpected bumps along the way—from ear infections after days spent swimming to seasonal allergies, minor injuries and sudden illnesses.
When those moments happen, knowing where to turn for care can provide peace of mind. Express Care offers convenient treatment for many non-emergent medical needs, helping patients get the care they need when they need it.
Taking care of your health doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Small steps—scheduling a checkup, staying current on dental care, updating immunizations or completing a wellness visit—can have a lasting impact on your overall well-being.
At Primary Health Solutions, we’re committed to caring for our community through every stage of life. Whether you need primary care, dental services, school physicals, preventive screenings or same-day care through Express Care, our team is here to support you and your family every step of the way.
As we move into the second half of the year, consider this your reminder: your health is worth making time for.
