Overview
Prevention is not a single annual test—it is an ongoing relationship between your history, your family risk, and evidence that changes over time. Our program organizes visits so screening labs, blood pressure, cancer screening conversations, and immunizations follow a plan you understand. We reference Canadian sources such as the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care and Health Canada immunization information when discussing what applies to you—not a generic checklist.
We document a shared schedule: what is due now, what can wait, and what to monitor at home.
What’s included
- Age- and risk-based screening labs (lipids, A1c, kidney function) when indicated
- Blood pressure and metabolic syndrome review with home-monitoring coaching
- Immunization catch-up for children and adults (influenza, pneumococcal, Tdap, shingles, COVID-19 as eligible)
- Cancer screening discussions (colon, breast, cervical, lung) with shared decision-making
- Mental health and substance-use screening when appropriate
- Basics of nutrition, activity, sleep, and smoking cessation resources
Who it’s for
Adults establishing care, anyone overdue for screening, people with new cardiovascular risk factors, or families wanting a coordinated prevention roadmap.
Questions
Medically necessary visits and many screening tests ordered by your physician are covered by Ontario Health Insurance; uninsured wellness add-ons are discussed before ordering.
Intervals depend on age, sex, family history, and prior results—some items are annual, others every 2–5 years or longer.
No—counseling on diet, sleep, stress, alcohol, and medications is equally important; we combine lifestyle and screening.
