Preventive Care in Houston

Support When You Need It Most

Disease prevention relies on anticipatory actions that are aimed at detecting how environmental factors, genetic predisposition, disease agents, and lifestyle choices may affect a patient’s current and future well-being. In this sense, preventive healthcare is especially important given the rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases and deaths from them. At Riviera Medical Center, we are pleased to offer preventive care to help you stay on the path of health.

What to Expect from Preventive Care

When seeking preventive care in Houston at Riviera Medical center, here is what to expect.

Heart Health Monitoring

As we age, it is vital to check on our health. From lifestyle to genetics, different factors play a role in our heart, which is why preventive care focuses on keeping it under control.
Among the measures that help prevent heart failure, are:

Following a balanced diet tailored to your needs
Limiting salt and sugar intake
Having an exercise routine
Avoiding smoking and alcohol

Also, our team will focus on regularly checking your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and following up on any condition or medication you are taking.

Breast Health & Gynecological Care

Routine gynecological exams are an integral part of preventive care. By undergoing routine check-ups, your physician can detect potential issues early and treat ongoing conditions. A typical appointment includes a review of your medical history and a physical examination of the breast tissue and pelvic area.

Among the breast tissue exams are mammograms, which are key in the detection of breast cancer and recommended yearly for women 40 or older.

Skin Health

A good Houstonite knows the impacts of the Texas sun on our skin. Keeping tabs on our complexion is crucial to continue to enjoy Memorial Park. Therefore, at Riviera Medical Center, as part of our preventive care services in Houston, we offer mole and skin checks and guidance so that you know what is best for your specific needs.

Bone Health

With age not only do we need to check our heart health, but our bones as well, as they are prone to deteriorating. In order to prevent future decay, at Riviera Medical Center we offer DXA scan (bone density test) services. A DXA scan is a quick way to check your bones. Akin to a regular X-ray, it measures the strength and mineral content of your bones—not just taking pictures of them. Thanks to this technology, our healthcare providers can identify the potential for osteoporosis, osteopenia and other conditions that can silently weaken your bones.
