AIM MEDICAL PREVENTATIVE HEALTH AND WELLNESS SERVICES /

Sound clinical reasons exist for emphasizing prevention in medicine, studies have shown that clinicians often fail to provide recommended clinical preventive services. This is due to a variety of factors, including inadequate reimbursement for preventive services, fragmentation of health care delivery, and insufficient time with patients to deliver the range of preventive services that are recommended. Clinicians have always intuitively understood the value of prevention. Faced daily with the difficult and often unsuccessful task of treating advanced stages of disease, primary care providers have long sought the opportunity to intervene early in the course of disease or even before disease develops.
Although immunizations and screening tests remain important preventive services, the most promising role for prevention in current medical practice may lie in changing the personal health behaviors of patients long before clinical disease develops. The importance of this aspect of clinical practice is evident from a growing literature linking some of the leading causes of death in North America, such as heart disease, cancer, cerebrovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, to a handful of personal health behaviors. Physical inactivity and dietary factors contribute to coronary atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, and other common diseases. As a doctor working within an AIM Medical clinic you will be given the opportunity to eliminate barriers to implementation by linking to or participating in our outpatient rehabilitation programs and our cardiac, orthopedic and physical medicine specialty centers. As well physicians are given the opportunity to provide services according to their personal interest.
