Preventive Care

Prevention is both a concept and a practice. However, in order to turn this concept into practice, we are seeking to forge partnerships with our patients and the Lawton/Fort Sill community to develop awareness of the risk factors that cause both acute and chronic diseases, and traumatic injuries. This awareness, coupled with health education, practical assistance, and community support can create behavioral changes that will enhance the health of our patient population and encourage them in the development of healthier lifestyles. Toward this end, we have implemented a wide array of preventive services to help our patient population identify their personal health risks, learn more about those risks, support change in their high risk health behaviors, and promote their optimal well-being.
