Care Station Medical Group Urges You to “Know Your Numbers”

Online Quiz Will Test Your Knowledge of Key Medical Markers Vital to Maintaining Your Health

You can’t be too informed when it comes to your health. Knowing a few basic numbers that can help to identify potentially serious health problems before they occur. Care Station Medical Group, a patient-centered open-access primary care network of four offices throughout northern and central New Jersey, urges everyone to know the numbers of the key medical markers that indicate a patient’s health status. And to help you do that, Care Station has created a simple and informative online quiz that can help you to know and understand the importance of good, healthy numbers.

The doctors at Care Station are focused on providing primary care that keep their patients healthy. By forming and maintaining a relationship with your primary care provider, patients are able to receive care that is focused on their personal health needs.

The way to smart, preventative health is by monitoring and maintaining the right numbers. Key health indicators include body mass index (BMI), blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, and vitamin D. By performing a yearly physical, doctors are able to determine where these numbers are for each patient, and aid them in detecting illnesses and potential problems early on.
