Dosher Memorial Hospital and the Apothecary at St. James will host a talk on Wednesday October 18th at the St. James Community Center from 2:30-3:30pm on the topic of annual wellness visits. Dosher physician assistant Jeff Martin, PA-C will provide education on this patient-provider consult, which is available at no charge for individuals insured under Medicare Part B. The annual wellness visit is different from a physical exam, which is why education around this appointment is vital. The more patients understand about their annual wellness visit, the more they will be able to properly prepare and get the most out of this appointment.
