Preventing disease generally begins with diet and exercise. Eating healthy foods and being physically active play major roles in preventing disease and help reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and a wide variety of cancers. They also improve your mental and emotional health.

Since early detection is important and can even save your life, SLO Noor provides various screenings and testing for diseases. The medical staff will let you know which tests or lab work you should have done and schedule follow-up appointments to provide the opportunity for you to learn about the meaning of the results. The better we understand the causes of illness and ways to improve our health and fight disease, the better are our chances for leading healthy, long lives.

Lab tests administered or ordered at the SLO Noor clinic monitor your body’s systems, check for signs of disease, alert us to conditions that may develop into disease, and provide an opportunity for preventive lifestyle changes to be made. The SLO Noor medical staff will inform you about which tests you need and their purpose. Testing may include: Hepatitis C Screening and Testing, Basic Metabolic Panel, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, EKG, Lipid Panel, Liver Panel, Urine Dip, and many others.

A mammogram is a low-dose x-ray that allows doctors called radiologists to look for changes in breast tissue. A mammogram can often find or detect breast cancer early when it’s small and even before a lump can be felt. This is when it’s easiest to treat. SLO Noor patients may be referred for mammograms.

SLO Noor partners with Radiology Associates to provide x-rays, ultrasounds, MRI’s, CT scans, and other needed services for patients. These services are offered at no charge to patients.

SLO Noor offers onsite nutrition education and lifestyle coaching for people with diabetes or prediabetes. The program includes educating patients about diabetes, food recommendations and substitutions, and activity goals.

All adults should visit their health care provider from time to time, even if they feel healthy. The purpose of these visits is to: screen for diseases, assess future medical risks, encourage a healthy lifestyle, update vaccinations, and maintain a regular relationship with a health care provider.

Physical therapy is a health care specialty involved with evaluating, diagnosing, and treating disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
