Why yearly health exams matter

• 02/09/2026

Staying healthy gets even more important as we age — and yearly checkups play a big role. For Hennepin Health members, annual wellness visits are covered and give you time with your provider to create or update your health plan.

These visits help catch issues early, manage existing conditions, and keep your vaccines and screenings up to date. Think of it as a yearly tune-up — a small investment of time that can make a big difference in how you feel and function every day.

Even if you feel fine, exams can uncover silent problems like high blood pressure or early signs of disease before they become serious. Your doctor can also guide you on nutrition, exercise, and mental well-being — all key parts of staying independent and active.

Take charge of your health: schedule your yearly wellness visit today. You can search for in-network providers in our provider directory or call Hennepin Health Member Services at 612-596-1036 (TTY 711), Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
