Preventive Healthcare

One of the best ways to stay healthy — and save money — is to take advantage of preventive healthcare. The Rural Health Clinic at Coalinga Regional Medical Center offers a full range of preventive services for helping you and your family stay healthy, including:

• Routine checkups
• Immunizations
• Disease management
• Regular screenings

With preventive care, you have a greater chance of early detection of everything from cancer to diabetes to hypertension. So you can get started on treatment sooner and take a proactive approach to your health.

Children

At every stage of life, your children can benefit from preventive care. The Rural Health Clinic is ready to care for your loved ones' needs, including well-baby and well-child visits as well as regular checkups.

The most important step you can take toward protecting your children from serious illness is to stay current on their immunizations. Vaccines for childhood illnesses are safe and prevent potential complications from even mild diseases.

In recent years, vaccines have been developed to stem illnesses like the flu, infantile diarrhea (rotavirus), hepatitis, meningitis, and human papillomavirus (HPV). Parents have more opportunities than ever to keep kids healthy and safe from contagious illnesses.

Prenatal Care

The Rural Health Clinic is also the perfect place to get your prenatal care (medical care during pregnancy). You should have your first prenatal care visit during the first three months of your pregnancy. An average pregnancy can require 12 to 14 prenatal care visits.

Prenatal care is important for both the mother and the child. Your doctor will discuss an appropriate diet, any supplements you should take and other medical concerns such as weight gain, gestational diabetes, and high blood pressure.

Following birth, you can continue coming to the Rural Health Clinic for regular checkups, immunizations, and other health-related needs.

Call the clinic to schedule your first prenatal visit as soon as possible.

Older Adults
Preventive care in older adults can help improve quality of life and decrease healthcare costs. Although the likelihood of illness and chronic disease increases with age, the frequency and severity of disease can be reduced with preventive care.

The Rural Health Clinic has comprehensive services for the aging population. Our staff can help ensure that older adults stay current on their vaccinations. Plus, our facilities are set up for the multiple health screenings that can help prevent, delay, or minimize disease in older adults.

When necessary, the Coalinga Regional Medical Center is available for follow-up care.
