Preventive Health Care for the Aging

A Personal Plan for Improving Your Health

Your health is important. When you are healthy, you can enjoy an active lifestyle even into your 80's and 90's. A PHCA assessment can provide you with information and resources to help you stay healthy and active. This assessment does not take the place of regular visits to your doctor. But you will receive tips on how to work with your doctor and stay active, even if you already have a health problem.

A Personal Plan for Improving Your Health
After completing your health assessment, the nurse will give you suggestions to improve your health. Your plan will take into account your current health and any limitations you may have. Your personal health plan will include:

• Steps you can take to reduce health risks, such as choosing healthy foods and increasing your exercise

• Preventive health exams to discuss with your doctor

• Referrals to physicians and other health services for further testing or evaluation, if needed

• Counseling about your health concerns

• Information and resources within your community that can help you stay healthy and active.
