Wellness visits refer to routine medical check-ups or examinations that are intended to promote health and prevent illness. The goal is to identify potential health issues before they become serious, through a combination of physical exams, lab tests, and screenings based on the patient's age, gender, family history, and other risk factors. These visits can help detect early signs of conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or cancer, allowing for timely intervention and treatment to improve overall health outcomes.
