Let’s talk about cholesterol.

High cholesterol usually does not cause symptoms, but over time it can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries and increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems.

A simple blood test called a lipid panel can help measure your cholesterol levels, including LDL cholesterol, often called “bad” cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, often called “good” cholesterol, and triglycerides.

The good news is that cholesterol can often be improved with lifestyle changes, nutrition, physical activity, weight management, and medication when appropriate. Treatment is not one-size-fits-all, and your personal risk factors matter.

At Primary Health of Central PA, our Family Medicine and Cardiology physicians work together to help patients understand their cholesterol numbers and create individualized, evidence-based plans to reduce cardiovascular risk.

Know your numbers. Take control of your heart health.

Heading off to college?

Before the next stage of education begins, make sure your student is ready with an updated checkup and vaccine review.

Many colleges request or require an up-to-date immunization record before admission, move-in, or participation in certain programs. Common vaccines to review include meningitis, tetanus/Tdap, MMR, varicella, hepatitis vaccines, HPV, and others based on age, medical history, school requirements, and living arrangements.

Primary Health of Central PA can help review your student’s vaccine history, complete appropriate forms, and update needed preventive care before the semester begins.

Schedule an appointment online at PrimaryHealthofCentralPA.com or call 717-707-0090 to schedule a preventive visit and vaccination review today.

Lets talk about High Blood pressure / Hypertension.

About 120 million Americans are affected by high blood pressure, that is about 47% of the population.

Most people with hypertension have no symptoms at all, making this a quiet and insidious medical condition. Untreated, hypertension causes damage to your kidneys, heart, brain and other organs with few symptoms to warn patients.

The American Heart association recommends a blood pressure goal of < 130 / 80 for most adults; and even suggests a blood pressure of < 120/80 as beneficial to prevent future problems.

At Primary Health of Central PA, our Family Medicine and Cardiology physicians work together to screen and manage hypertension with individualized, evidence-based treatment plans, so you can aim longer and feel better.

Schedule an appointment today online at PrimaryHealthofCentralpa.com or call 717-707-0090. The best cure is prevention.

Did you know your primary care doctor is one of your most powerful partners in managing diabetes?

Regular visits mean more than just checking your A1C. Your P*P coordinates your full picture of health — adjusting medications, monitoring kidney and heart health, reviewing your diet, and catching complications early before they become serious.

Consistent, personalized care from a doctor who knows your history can make all the difference in living well with diabetes.

Looking for a primary care team that takes your diabetes seriously? We're accepting new patients at Primary Health of Central PA.

Blood draw available on site, labs will be sent to and billed by Quest.
