A wellness test is particularly important if you have a family history with certain diseases or health problems. Even if you have great health and haven’t seen a doctor in years, an annual wellness test can help you assess your overall health. This is also critical for employers to utilize because healthier employees have a higher work output, less turnover, and contribute to a more positive work environment. Studies found that nearly 25% of adults surveyed said they skip routine doctor’s visits and wellness exams for their families because it was too expensive. Many families find it difficult to access important preventive healthcare services.
There are many preventable diseases and conditions and some of these such as heart disease don’t show symptoms immediately.
