Stay healthy with Annual Health Check-Ups. Comprehensive exams, screenings, and preventive care for all ages.

At LiveYoung Medical Centre, we believe annual health check-ups are the foundation of preventive care. These visits go beyond routine appointments — they provide a chance to review your overall health, update your medical history, and detect potential issues early. Our physicians follow Canadian preventive care guidelines, ensuring your check-up is personalized to your age, lifestyle, and individual risk factors.

Why Annual Check-Ups Matter

A yearly health exam is one of the best ways to protect your future health. These visits help:

• Detect potential problems before they become serious
• Track progress on chronic conditions such as diabetes or hypertension
• Keep your vaccinations and cancer screenings up to date
• Provide guidance on nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management
• Support long-term physical and mental well-being

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Your doctor will tailor the check-up to your age, medical history, and lifestyle. A typical annual health check-up may include:

• Medical History Review – medications, allergies, family health risks, lifestyle habits
• Physical Examination – vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, BMI) and a full-body assessment
• Laboratory Testing & Screenings – cholesterol, blood sugar, thyroid, kidney/liver function, urine tests, Pap tests, and other age-specific assessments
• Chronic Condition Monitoring – diabetes (A1C testing, CGM review), hypertension, heart disease, asthma, COPD
• Cancer Prevention – breast exams, cervical screening, colon cancer referrals, prostate health checks when appropriate
• Immunizations – updates for flu, tetanus, pneumonia, shingles, and travel vaccines
• Lifestyle & Mental Health Review – discussions about sleep, stress, exercise, diet, and referrals if additional support is needed

Who Should Schedule an Annual Check-Up?

Annual health check-ups are recommended for:

• ✅ Adults of all ages – even if you feel healthy
• ✅ Children & teens – for growth, development, and immunization updates
• ✅ Seniors – to manage chronic conditions and maintain independence
• ✅ Patients with chronic diseases – such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease
• ✅ Those with a family history of illness – requiring closer monitoring

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an annual health check-up covered by OHIP?
Yes. Preventive visits and annual check-ups are covered for eligible patients under OHIP.

Do I need to fast before my appointment?
Sometimes. If your physician orders blood work such as cholesterol or blood sugar, fasting may be required. We will let you know in advance.

Can I discuss other health issues during my check-up?
Yes, but if there are multiple concerns beyond preventive care, your doctor may schedule a follow-up visit to ensure each issue receives proper attention.

Do children also need annual check-ups?
Absolutely. Kids and teens benefit from regular visits to track growth, update vaccinations, and support healthy development.

From a patient perspective, your annual exam is a chance to sit down with a trusted doctor and ask questions about your health. These visits help you stay on top of your well-being, giving you peace of mind and ensuring that small health issues are addressed before they turn into bigger concerns. Best of all, annual health check-ups are fully covered by OHIP with a valid Ontario health card.

We also work closely with other areas of our clinic, referring patients to our Women’s Health Clinic, Child Health Services, or Chronic Disease Management if follow-up care is required.
