Preventative Medicine 101 with Dr. Randy Hines II

Let's talk about preventative medicine... How important is it for you to be present on your annual visit? As the saying goes, prevention will always be better than cure, but if we’ll keep on disregarding the need to visit our physicians, the time will come when things will get worse, so bad that it might even take our life away from us. So, if you still want to live a lot longer both in good shape and in good health, sit back and relax as we learn from today’s guest. As always, awareness is where it all starts, but awareness is nothing when it's not put into fruitful action.
