Preventive Medicine Midland, TX

What is Preventive Medicine?
Preventive medicine focuses on protecting an individual’s health and well-being from illness. It also aims to avert disease, disability, and death on an individual basis and a large scale in communities and populations. As preventive healthcare providers, our goal is to empower our patients to take an active role in managing their health, the health of their loved ones, and the broader healthcare system.

Why is Preventive Medicine important?
Preventive medicine is the key to good health, and the first step to good health is to be alerted to the myriad ways we can all prevent illness. According to the CDC, this alertness can also lower healthcare costs, as 75% of annual health spending goes toward chronic and largely preventable diseases in the US.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that the top 5 leading causes of death in the US are heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD), stroke, and unintentional injuries. This makes preventive medicine all the more important in avoiding premature death.
