Rocking Horse Community Health Center Encourages Preventative Care in 2025: "New Year, New You"

As the new year begins, Rocking Horse Community Health Center is encouraging individuals to take charge of their health with its “New Year, New You” initiative. The focus is on the importance of regular screenings, vaccinations, and establishing primary care to ensure a healthier year ahead.

The Importance of Preventative Screenings
Routine health screenings can detect potential health concerns early, allowing for timely intervention and better outcomes. Rocking Horse recommends the following based on age and risk factors:

• Annual wellness exams for all ages
• Blood pressure and cholesterol screenings to monitor heart health
• Diabetes screenings for those with risk factors
• Cancer screenings, including mammograms, cervical cancer screenings, and colonoscopies, as recommended by providers

 
Staying Up to Date on Vaccinations
Vaccinations are essential in preventing serious illnesses and protecting public health. Rocking Horse reminds patients of key vaccines recommended at different life stages:

• Childhood immunizations (MMR, polio, DTaP, etc.)
• Teen & adult boosters (HPV, Tdap, meningitis)
• Annual flu shots & COVID-19 boosters
• Shingles & pneumonia vaccines for older adults
• RSV for babies and the elderly

 
Establishing Primary Care for Complete Preventative Health
Many health screenings and vaccinations require coordination with a primary care provider (PCP). For those who do not yet have a PCP, Rocking Horse Community Health Center is welcoming new patients. Establishing care ensures access to routine checkups, preventative screenings, and personalized health plans tailored to individual needs.

Taking the time to prioritize preventative care today can lead to a healthier and happier future. Start 2025 on the right track—schedule an appointment at Rocking Horse Community Health Center and make your health a priority!
