When was the last time you had your checkup? If you're like most people, it's easy to skip it when you're feeling fine. After all, why take time out of your busy schedule for something that seems unnecessary?
Just because you don’t feel anything doesn’t mean everything is fine. There’s a difference between
feeling
healthy and
being
healthy. Preventing what could go wrong should be the norm, not waiting until something feels wrong. This is what makes annual checkups and wellness exams necessary.
If you don’t know where to start,
schedule your annual checkups at Allmed LA. We offer expert medical consultation and disease-prevention advice to help you always feel your best. We're here to make staying healthy simple, accessible, and stress-free.
Make Your Health a Priority
Small, consistent steps today can prevent big health challenges tomorrow. Let’s talk about why scheduling your annual checkup should be at the top of your to-do list.
Many serious health conditions don’t announce themselves with obvious symptoms. You might feel perfectly normal while these conditions slowly affect your heart, kidneys, and other vital organs.
Early detection through annual checkups can help us catch signs of:
These don’t always send warning signs, but a simple exam or
blood test can reveal them long before they begin affecting your daily life. When caught early, treatment is often simpler, less invasive, and more effective. It's one of the most powerful steps you can take to protect your long-term health.
Your health unfolds over time. Yearly checkups give both you and your provider a clear picture of how your body changes over time. These will allow us to keep track of trends, and they matter because they:
Keeping track of long-term trends transforms your checkup from a single appointment into a roadmap for proactive health.
Your annual health checkup is an opportunity to
build a stronger connection with your primary care provider, like the chance to:
Building this relationship over time transforms routine medical exams into meaningful conversations that help keep you healthier, longer.
Your body’s health needs evolve as you age, and so do the preventive care services and vaccines you require. Your annual checkup is the perfect time to make sure you’re up to date on both.
| Vaccinationsber | Preventive Screenings |
|---|---|
| Flu shot | Blood pressure and cholesterol (starting in your 20s) |
| COVID-19 boosters (as recommended) | Diabetes screening (especially if you have risk factors) |
| Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) | Mammograms (starting at age 40 or earlier) |
| Shingles vaccine (for adults 50+) | Cervical cancer screening (Pap and HPV testing) |
| Pneumonia vaccine (for older adults and high-risk individuals) | Colon cancer screening (starting at age 45) |
| HPV vaccine (for eligible teens and young adults) | Bone density tests (for postmenopausal women and at-risk adults) |
It can be hard to keep track of whether you’ve had your shots or when you’re due for health screening tests, so we make it easy to stay organized and send reminders when it’s time for your next vaccination or test.
Annual check-ups are not only about physical health monitoring. It can also be your safe space to talk about how you’re really doing emotionally.
Physical and mental health don’t exist in separate boxes;
they’re closely linked together. Stress affects your blood pressure. Poor sleep impacts your immune system. Anxiety can show up as headaches, digestive issues, or chronic pain. And sometimes, feeling “off” emotionally is the first sign that something needs attention.
When you get your check-ups, always remember it’s a safe space to open up about:
Caring for your health should mean caring for
all
of you. Mental and emotional health are just as important as any lab result, and we’re here to help you with both.
No matter your age or health history, it’s never too late to take a proactive approach and invest in your long-term well-being. All it takes is one simple step—scheduling your annual checkup with Allmed LA.

One Click Is All It Takes
Your provider may recommend more frequent visits in addition to your annual checkup. These help our care team ensure your chronic condition management plan remains effective and tailored to your needs.
It helps to bring a list of medications, any recent lab results, and questions or concerns you want to discuss. This ensures your visit is focused, productive, and tailored to you.
Many insurance plans cover annual wellness visits at little to no cost, but coverage can vary. Our team at Allmed LA is happy to help you understand your benefits before your appointment.
That’s okay! There’s no judgment here. Your checkup is simply a fresh start, and we’ll meet where you are to help you move forward confidently.
