About Our Check-Up Programs

Examinations and medical examinations serve to take care of our well-being. The prevention of disease has two fundamental stages: the primary one is to improve the state of health through the reduction or elimination of risk factors for certain diseases. The secondary one includes screenings thanks to which it is possible to identify any pathologies or disorders arising and intervene with the appropriate treatments.

The check-up programs you can benefit from at UPMC Centers include prevention through visits, and diagnostic tests and pathways that improve nutrition and lifestyle.

In particular, the check-ups are divided into:

• Medical.
• Assessment of risk factors with the specialist doctor.
• Research of diseases related to age, gender, or lifestyle.
• Development of a personalized prevention program.
• Final report from the doctor.

Who Can Do a Check-Up?

Examinations and specialist visits will clarify your general state of health. UPMC check-ups are primarily aimed at people who do not experience any symptoms, but want to periodically monitor their condition to exclude the presence of pathologies, even at an early stage. In symptomatic patients and in those who already suffer from a disorder or disease, check-ups make it possible to make a precise diagnosis and to keep the evolution of the disease under control.

Our services are also aimed at people who want to quit smoking: the specialists of the Stop Smoking Center will accompany you on the smoking cessation path. Our doctors will provide you with all the information you need, both on the dangers of smoking and on the stages of the program, they will visit you and carry out a series of examinations to assess your health conditions, and they will evaluate any pharmacological treatments to be accompanied by counseling and periodic meetings. Even after the end of the program, they will follow you to check the results achieved.
