  Men’s Health Month

  Posted on June 16, 2017

  This month we hope to raise awareness for preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men. Did you know that men are at an increased risk for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke and depression?

  Also, approximately 1 in 7 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. The good news is that screening for these potential health problems is quick and easy and can be done in one office visit!

  Please call to schedule your annual exam and fasting lab work.

  Preventative health care and maintenance saves lives!

• Are You Connected?

  Posted on June 7, 2017

  You may have noticed over the past few months an increase in the number of phone calls you have received from the clinic. We may have been checking on your status from recent clinic visits or just checking in to say hello. At Access MD, we strive to stay connected with all of our patients when you are sick and when you are doing well.

  We want to know what is the best way to contact you. During your next visit to the clinic, please make sure we have your updated email address and phone number on file. Just a friendly reminder, texting is not considered a secure form of communication. So, please do not text any personal information to the office phone. This is to ensure the privacy and safety of your information.

  Additionally, our practice offers a convenient and easy way to view your health chart and information from home through our CareCloud Patient Portal. Within the Patient Portal, you can view labs, diagnostic tests, your medication list, vital signs, recent office notes and so much more. Are you connected to the Patient Portal? If not, we can send a new invitation to your preferred email with a temporary password to login and create your Patient Portal account. To access the Patient Portal please visit the Access MD website by clicking here. Once you are on the website, you will see an option at the bottom of the page for “Patient Login” to sign in to the Patient Portal.

  Please, help us help you stay connected with the practice and your healthcare. Don’t hesitate to call with any questions you may have or to offer updated contact information.
