Save Lives Through Early Detection
The Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) lets providers obtain important patient information and create a personalized prevention plan. This information includes medical and family history, health risks, and other crucial patient data.
Managing an AWV Program Can Be Complex
St. Vincent Preventative Family Care Makes It Easy
Our AWV program offers a range of free services to patients, including:
- Wellness visits to identify care needs and develop a plan of action
- Devices (e.g., blood pressure monitor) to self-check and self-report vitals
- Apps with care plan reminders, symptom questionnaires, and technical support
We can conduct the AWV via telehealth — a safe and convenient option for your patients.
