If breast cancer runs in your family, you may have questions about what that means for your own health. Should you start mammograms earlier? Could genetic testing help you understand your risk?

Your family health history can provide important information, but it is only ONE part of your overall breast cancer risk. The good news is, you do not have to figure out your risk on your own! Your primary care provider can help you understand your family history, identify factors that may increase your risk, determine which preventive screenings are appropriate and connect you with specialists when needed.

Through primary care, behavioral health, nutrition services, psychiatry services, and more, we help patients access comprehensive care that supports their overall well-being.

Because when it comes to your health, every part matters.

While many people associate vaccines with childhood, adults need vaccinations throughout their lives, too! With flu, COVID-19, RSV and shingles vaccines all part of conversations about adult health, it can be difficult to know which ones you actually need, and the answer is different for everyone!

Your primary care provider can review your vaccination history, current health and individual risk factors to help you understand which vaccines are recommended for you—and when you should receive them.

Fall often means more than changing leaves and getting back into a school routine. Once children are spending more time together indoors, colds, flu and other respiratory illnesses can become part of the season, too.

For parents, one of the biggest questions is often: When is my child sick enough to call the doctor? Knowing what to watch for can help you feel more confident about what to do when your child isn’t feeling well.

Fall is officially here, and though so many good things come with it, so does flu season.

The most effective way to protect yourself from the flu is by getting an annual flu vaccine. The flu vaccine helps your immune system recognize and fight the virus, reducing the severity of symptoms if you do get infected.

It’s recommended for everyone over the age of six months, and it’s especially crucial for individuals with weakened immune systems and those at higher risk of complications, such as the elderly, young children, and pregnant women.

All Avance Care locations have flu shots available! Call your office to make an appointment, mention that you want the flu shot before an existing appointment, or find a flu shot clinic happening near you by visiting here: https://www.avancecare.com/events/?address=&lat=&lng=&distance=25mi&event-category=flu-shot-clinic&sort=dateasc

2. APPs complete graduate-level education, and may have master’s or doctoral degrees.
3. APPs can conduct physical exams, diagnose illnesses, order lab work and imaging, manage acute or chronic diseases, write prescriptions, and provide health guidance.
4. APPs allow for shorter wait times, easier scheduling, and expand healthcare capacity.

Thank you for all you do, APPs!
