What Are Annual Physicals?

Annual physicals are yearly checkups that help you and your provider understand your overall health. They give us the chance to look for early changes, answer your questions, and support your long-term wellness.

If you are already an HSNT primary care patient, your medical history is available here. This helps your provider compare year-to-year results and track changes in your health.

During your physical, you can expect a thorough exam and time to talk with your provider. We may ask you to fast for 12 hours before your visit so we can complete blood work if needed.
Annual physicals for women may also include routine women’s health screenings to support whole-body wellness.
