Gritman Medical Center’s dedicated Medicare Annual Wellness Nurse shares the power of preventive care with patients every day at Gritman’s Downtown Clinic.

“Annual wellness screenings give your provider the whole picture of your health so they can give you complete care,” Barbara said. “If your provider sees you every year, they build a relationship with you, learn your family medical history, and can offer the continuity of care you need. If you skip these visits, that can’t happen.”

With preventive care now linked to better outcomes, earlier detection and lower costs, there’s never been a better time to schedule a visit: gritman.org/appointment

Mason Way wasn’t going to let a thumb injury put an end to his senior season for the Lewiston High Football Team.

Instead of being out for three months, he was able to get back to playing in about 6 weeks thanks to Gritman Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Leo Chough and the team at Gritman Medical Center.

“I feel back to normal, 100 percent,” Way said. “It was surreal being back after being told my season was going to be over, and just being back on the field, it was great.”
