Doctors are urging community members to make regular primary care appointments on the heels of the pandemic.
Richmond-Henrico Health District Director Dr. Elaine Perry reminds the public of the importance of regularly seeing a primary care physician. She said a lot of attention was previously on preventing the spread of COVID-19, but now they can focus on the basics.
“It's important for adults to have a place that they can go to see healthcare professionals that know you, know your conditions," Dr. Perry explained. "It can help not only treat issues as they come up, but then help prevent some of these chronic diseases over the long term."
RHHD said catching up on medical appointments ensures consistent health monitoring, vaccinations, and preventative care.
