Immunizations:  There have been many additions recently to recommended vaccinations for adolesents  and adults. These include new vaccines for prevention of  whooping cough, chicken pox, cervical cancer, and Shingles.

Exercise:  The CDC now recommends 30-60 minutes of moderately vigorous exercise most days of the week to maintain health.  Many recent studies show that exercise promotes health and longevity, and reduces the risk of everything from cancer to Alzheimer''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s Disease.

Medical Home:  Research shows that patients who have a "medical home" do better than patients who don''t.  A medical home refers to a physician who knows you and oversees your medical care.  Medicare may soon begin reimbursing doctors for providing theses important services.
