Avoiding the Doctor’s Office?

A recent survey by the Cleveland Clinic reveals just how much men don’t like going to the doctor’s office. After interviewing more than 1,000 men, 72 percent said they would rather do household chores, like cleaning the bathroom or mowing the lawn, than see a doctor. 72 percent! Men, that just doesn’t cut it. After all, having your blood pressure or blood sugar level checked or scheduling a preventive exam such as a colonoscopy can actually save your life. And having an annual wellness exam makes it more likely that a disease will be detected in its early stages, when treatment is much more effective. So, take the first important step to a longer and healthier life. Call Hometown Hospital today and let us help you find a primary care provider and schedule an appointment.
