Health Screenings

Identifying a health issue in its early stages or before it becomes active is an important aspect of quality treatment and prevention.  The Hammond Clinic wants to protect its patients from developing diseases before they become dangerous or difficult to manage.  The Health Screening Initiative is designed to diagnose Hammond Clinic patients that are at risk for the development of a disease/condition or to help identify a current affliction.  We focus on the patients that have had a family history or meet any of the risk criteria.  Some of the many screenings the Hammond Clinic offers are colonoscopies, mammograms, bone density, blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, pap smears, and prostate.  For our upcoming free screenings schedule please click here or call today to make an appointment.

Wellness

At the Hammond Clinic, we not only want to treat our patients, but we also want to help them live a more active, healthy lifestyle.  Our providers want their patients to understand the dangers of smoking, alcohol use, and lack of exercise.  Our Wellness Initiative empowers our patients to understand what they need to add and remove from their daily habits in order to make their lives healthy and active.  The Hammond Clinic focuses on the entire life of the patient, not just when the patient is ill or injured.  Making healthy choices today leads to a brighter tomorrow.

Patient Education

Understanding a health condition or disease can be challenging and time consuming.   The Hammond Clinic strives to enlighten all of its patients about how to live with their condition and the steps that need to be taken in order to maximize their daily satisfaction.  The Patient Education Initiative enlightens and assists patients with their questions, concerns, and comments about different health topics.  We provide monthly lectures, seminars, and screenings to help our patients feel comfortable and confident.  Some of our seminars include topics such as migraines, heart health, neuropathy, and glaucoma. The Hammond Clinic also has support groups for conditions such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s.  To see our upcoming events please click here.

Influenza

Influenza commonly referred to as the flu, affects millions of people every year.  The easiest and most effective way to prevent influenza is to be vaccinated.  The Influenza Initiative recommends any patient over six months old be vaccinated.  The Hammond Clinic wants to ensure that its patients are being protected by one of the most common afflictions that affect the entire population every year.  We offer the flu vaccination through our primary care physicians and pediatric providers, as well as through our shot room.  No appointment necessary.
