Disease Prevention & Health Promotion
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ of Utah Health's General Internal Medicine offers a comprehensive program of disease prevention and health promotion. Our internal medicine physicians provide a full range of care for adolescents and adults, including periodic health examinations with appropriate screening for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and common, treatable malignancies.
We focus on identifying risk factors and health management along with interventions, such as lipid-lowering diets, smoking cessation programs, and exercise regimens. We also offer adult immunizations.
Our doctors create one-on-one relationships with their patients to develop individualized care plans and, if necessary, have access to the broad range of specialty care providers of the Ï㽶ÊÓƵ of Utah Health system.
