Health Screenings
First, get the health screenings you need. Screenings are tests that look for diseases before you have symptoms. Blood pressure checks, mammograms and colonoscopies are examples of screenings. You can obtain most screenings easily through your doctor’s office or through a doctor’s referral. When you receive a doctor’s order for a screening test such as a mammogram or colonoscopy, choose Trinity Health System Twin City Medical Center for all your screening needs. For more information about what health screenings are needed, download the following brochures:

It’s Your Body
You know your body better than anyone else. Always tell your doctor or nurse practitioner about any changes in your health, including your vision and hearing. Ask them about being checked for any condition you are concerned about, not just the ones listed on this website. If you are wondering about diseases such as osteoporosis or skin cancer, for example, ask about them.
