Hospital/Clinic - Allen, TX, US
Primary & Prevention Care4 The Health of It is a special & unique clinic that has embraced the need to make preventive medicine a priority. Not only do we provide primary care services when you are feeling sick, but we take things one step further. Historically we have grown up with the mindset to call a doctor each time we feel sick. This is a very reactive approach to managing our health. While it addresses the immediate issue, it doesn't allow us the opportunity to detect and address those issues we don't see or feel. Each of us is composed of a combination of genes that has been handed down to us through the generations. These combinations can make us predisposed to health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure & others. These conditions can sit quiet in our DNA for years before suddenly rearing their ugly heads.Our Mission In order to prevent chronic illness & promote healthy living, our mission is to change the approach of traditional clinical medicine from reactive to proactive.
