Preventative Care & Immunizations at
The Piedmont Clinic
Health isn’t just something you react to — it’s something you build. We help you stay one step ahead, year after year.
The Best Medicine Is Prevention
Most serious health problems don’t show up overnight — they build over time, quietly. That’s why preventative care isn’t just smart, it’s essential.
From screenings and lab work to annual physicals and immunizations, we’re here to detect, prevent, and delay illness — so you can live stronger, longer, and with more control over your health.
You don’t have to be sick to see your doctor. In fact, the smartest time to come in… is before anything goes wrong.
What Counts as Preventative Care?
Preventative care includes any service designed to keep you healthy, catch issues early, or reduce risk before a condition becomes serious.
That includes:
Annual physicals
Lab work and screenings for cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, etc.
Cancer screenings like Pap smears, mammograms, and colonoscopies
Vaccinations for children, adults, and travel needs
Lifestyle counseling for nutrition, weight, stress, and tobacco use
Routine follow-ups for managing long-term risks
If it’s about staying healthy and avoiding future issues — it’s preventative care.
Why Preventative Care Matters
Most chronic illnesses (heart disease, type 2 diabetes, many cancers) are largely preventable when caught early or managed well.
Preventative care helps us:
Detect silent problems like high blood pressure or prediabetes
Track important health trends over time
Give you better odds against genetic risks
Adjust your care as your body changes
It’s not about checking a box. It’s about building a game plan around your health — and adjusting it as needed, year after year.
Immunizations: A Key Part of the Plan
Vaccines aren’t just for kids — they’re a powerful tool for adults, too. At The Piedmont Clinic, we offer age-appropriate immunizations for:
Children (per CDC schedule)
Adolescents – including HPV, meningitis, Tdap
Adults – including flu, shingles, pneumonia, tetanus, COVID-19
Travel-related vaccines (based on destination and timing)
Not sure which ones you’re due for? We’ll check your records and make sure your immune system is up to date.
Who Needs Preventative Care?
Everyone. But especially if you:
Haven’t seen a doctor in a while
Have a family history of chronic illness
Are over age 40
Are managing a condition like high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol
Are a parent looking to keep kids on track with development & vaccines
Are feeling good and want to stay that way
Preventative care isn’t just for “health people.” It’s for everyone who wants to feel like themselves — for years to come.
What to Expect From a Preventative Visit
Preventative care isn’t rushed. These visits are focused on you and your future, not just your symptoms today.
You’ll sit down with your provider to:
Review medical history, family risks, and current lifestyle
Get any needed labs, vitals, or screenings
Discuss long-term health goals
Receive counseling, vaccine updates, or follow-up recommendations
