Cardiovascular Care:

More people worldwide die from heart disease than any other cause. It is extremely difficult to detect and can advance unchecked for many years before its symptoms become noticeable. Death from cardiovascular issues can be sudden, making the potentially preventable loss of a loved one more devastating. Our In-house services and screening schedule help you understand your health risks and can help increase the quality and quantity of your years ahead.

Cholesterol Management

Cholesterol levels in seniors remain an overall indicator of cardiovascular health. When other heart disease risks are present, lowering cholesterol is one of the best approaches you can take toward reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, or peripheral vascular disease. Cholesterol Management is at the heart of Island Doctors’ wellness program to assist you to optimal health.

Blood Pressure Control

See your doctor regular and have vital signs such as your heart rate and blood pressure checked. If you are on medication, follow your doctors recommended dosing regimen.

Diabetes Care

Diabetes is a major and potentially life-threating disease caused by imbalances in insulin and glucose levels in the bloodstream. Risk factors for Type 2 diabetes include: age, being overweight, genetic predisposition, and a reduction in physical activity. 1 of 4 seniors above the age of 65 is affected by the condition. Early detection and diagnosis are key in reducing the risk and effectively treating diabetes. It is important to remember that a healthy lifestyle focusing on appropriate diet and exercise constitutes the foundation for diabetes prevention and treatment. If you have an endocrinologist, we will work together to synergistically reduce your risk and help you achieve your goals.
