Preventive Care — Newton & Meridian, MS
Preventive Care
Annual wellness exams, screenings, and immunizations designed to keep you healthy and catch problems before they become serious.
The Best Time to Prevent a Problem Is Before It Starts
Preventive care is one of the highest-value investments you can make in your long-term health. Most serious conditions — heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, certain cancers — develop gradually and are far more manageable when identified early. Dr. Olaleye integrates preventive care into every patient relationship at PHCM, using annual wellness visits to review your risk factors, update screenings, and build a proactive health plan tailored to your age, history, and lifestyle.
What We Offer
Annual Wellness Exams
Comprehensive yearly health evaluations covering vitals, medications, screenings, immunization review, and personalized preventive recommendations for adult patients.
Medicare Annual Wellness Visits (AWV)
The Medicare AWV is a covered benefit focused on health risk assessment, preventive planning, advance care planning, and care coordination. Distinct from a standard physical, it is designed to help Medicare beneficiaries stay ahead of health risks.
Preventive Screenings
Age- and risk-appropriate screenings for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and other conditions — with referral coordination for cancer screenings such as colonoscopy and mammography.
Immunizations
Review and administration of recommended adult vaccines — including influenza, pneumococcal, shingles (Shingrix), Tdap, and others based on age and risk factors.
Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
Evaluation of blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, weight, family history, and lifestyle factors to calculate and address your cardiovascular risk.
Lifestyle & Risk Factor Counseling
Guidance on nutrition, physical activity, smoking cessation, alcohol use, and other modifiable risk factors — integrated into every wellness visit.
Medication Review
Annual review of all current medications — checking for interactions, appropriateness, and opportunities to simplify or optimize your regimen.
Conditions We Manage
Why It Matters
Annual wellness visits are not just a formality — they are a clinical opportunity. A physician who sees you every year builds a baseline that makes changes meaningful. That is how problems get caught early, and how good health is maintained over a lifetime.
PHCM evaluates and manages many common adult medical conditions. Depending on the complexity of the condition, patients may also be referred to an appropriate specialist for consultation or co-management.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Most adults should have a comprehensive physical examination once per year. Patients with chronic conditions, multiple risk factors, or those over 65 may benefit from more frequent visits. Dr. Olaleye will recommend an appropriate schedule based on your age, health history, and risk profile.
Preventive screenings vary by age, sex, and risk factors but commonly include blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose, body mass index, colorectal cancer screening, cervical cancer screening, lung cancer screening for eligible smokers, depression screening, and immunization review. Dr. Olaleye follows current USPSTF and CDC guidelines.
No. A preventive wellness visit is focused on health maintenance, screenings, and risk reduction when you are feeling well. A sick visit addresses a specific complaint or acute illness. If you come in for a wellness visit and also raise a new medical concern, that concern may be billed separately as a problem-oriented visit.
PHCM reviews your immunization history at preventive visits and can administer or refer for recommended adult vaccines including influenza, pneumococcal, shingles (Shingrix), Tdap, and others based on your age and health status. Please bring your vaccination records if available.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, cover preventive wellness visits at no cost to the patient when billed as a preventive service. Coverage details vary by plan. PHCM recommends confirming your specific benefits before scheduling. Self-pay rates are also available — call our office for details.
