- Assess Risk of Future Medical Problems
- Encourage a Healthy Lifestyle
- Update Vaccinations
- Maintain a Relationship with a Health Care Provider in Case of an Illness
Should I Fast?
Patients scheduled to have lab work to check blood sugar, cholesterol, or liver tests (such as for a physical exam), must refrain from eating or drinking liquids with calories for six(6) hours before your appointment time.
Please make sure to drink plenty of water during your fast so you are well-hydrated.
