Wellness Program
Wellness is about preventing diseases, not treating them
At Internet Medical Clinics™ we believe that preventative medicine is an essential part of wellness for every member of your family. By taking the extra time to conduct screenings and educate our patients we can help prevent diseases long before they ever start. Our wellness program recommendations include regular consultations for:
- Physical examinations
- Blood work
- Cancer screenings
- Diet and exercise program
- Supplementation and medication education
Preventative Medicine for Women

- Diabetes screening
- Colon cancer screening (once every 10 years starting at age 40)

- Mammogram (once at age 35 and every two years from ages 40-50 and early thereafter)

Preventative Medicine for Men
Specifically tailored to meet the needs of a man, our wellness recommendations are designed to keep him healthy at all ages:
- Cholesterol and triglyceride checks
