Pre-trip health exams help promote a safe trip – particularly for long stays, remote destinations, or for individuals with active health problems or other special needs. It is recommended that the medical exam and consultation take place 4-6 weeks prior to travel.
In addition to the thorough physical exam, the traveler receives a pre-travel consultation with up-to-date country-specific health information as well as:
- Risk identification
- Prevention plan development including routine, recommended and required immunizations
- Customized health counseling and referrals for services at home and abroad
- Malaria prophylactic (prescription)
- Jet lag prevention and remedy
- Food and water precaution information
- Altitude sickness information
- Complimentary travel consultation with info from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and other sources
As part of the exam and consultation, the LVHN provider will print a profile for the country and/or areas the traveler will be visiting. This extra service gives the traveler important information to have with them during their travels that can help make their trip a safe one.
