Preventive Care & Chronic Disease Management in Port St. Lucie, FL

What to expect

• Annual wellness visits
• Health screenings
• Chronic disease management, including diabetes and hypertension
• Coordinated ongoing care

Annual wellness visits with the same provider each time

An annual physical at Port St. Lucie means a review of your vitals, medications, and health history with Brenique Ademola, APRN, the same provider you'd see for a follow-up or a chronic-condition check-in. Because one provider follows your record over time at this office, this year's numbers get compared against last year's by someone who already has that context, rather than a new reviewer starting from a blank chart each visit.

Diabetes and hypertension management, close to home

For Port St. Lucie patients already managing diabetes or high blood pressure — or establishing that kind of ongoing care for the first time — Brenique coordinates the regular check-ins, lab reviews, and medication conversations that chronic disease management requires, without a drive to Loxahatchee or West Palm Beach for routine follow-up. Her nursing background in medical surgical care, before training as a nurse practitioner, means she's spent years around exactly this kind of ongoing, multi-visit management.

What's confirmed here vs. elsewhere in the practice

Preventive care and chronic disease management are confirmed services at this office, alongside family and internal medicine — but Port St. Lucie's full service list is still being finalized as a newer location, so a few of the in-office procedures available at the practice's longer-established offices aren't listed here yet. If your preventive visit might also need something like an EKG, mention it when you call and our staff will confirm what's available at this office today.

Why preventive visits matter more once a condition is already diagnosed

For a patient with an existing diagnosis — diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol — an annual wellness visit does double duty: it's still the yearly baseline check most people think of, but it's also the visit where your provider steps back from the routine follow-up cadence and looks at the bigger picture of how the condition has trended over the full year, not just since your last appointment. Bringing a log of home readings, if you keep one, or simply being ready to talk through the year honestly, gets more out of that visit than treating it as just another check-in.
