Care Philosophy: Our Philosphy "Had I known I was going to live so long, I'd have taken better care of myself." Your health is ultimately your own responsibility. Within the limits of what you've been given by your ancestors and some degree of chance, how healthy you are for the rest of your life is up to you. We are here to advise you. Maintaining your health is a lot like maintaining your car. A car that is never serviced until it stops running does not serve its owner long. By looking at your risk factors, we may suggest ways to improve your chances for a healthy and long life. By periodic examinations we may be able to alert you to invisible problems and stop them before they become noticeable. By paying attention to your own body and bringing problems to our attention we may be able to detect small problems and prevent them from becoming big ones. Even serious diseases can be made more tolerable by working together. When necessary, we will guide you to appropriate specialists in your area of need.
