Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels is a key step in protecting your heart and overall health. At MedNOW Clinics, we are committed to supporting your cardiovascular health. The first step in managing cholesterol is knowing your numbers. We recommend that patients over the age of 20 have a Lipid Panel blood test every 4–6 years to monitor their levels. To schedule a cholesterol screening, you can easily contact your local MedNOW clinic or click the link on our website. For additional resources on cholesterol, we also recommend visiting the CDC website.

At MedNOW Clinics, we understand that choosing a healthcare provider is one of the most important decisions you make for yourself and your family . That is why we want to take a moment to share how MedNOW differs from larger health systems —and why more patients are choosing personalized care in a smaller, more connected setting. Unlike large hospital networks, MedNOW does not charge facility fees, which can add hundreds of dollars to your bill for a simple visit. These fees are often added by hospitals and larger systems simply because your visit took place in one of their buildings—not because you received any extra care. At MedNOW, you pay only for the care you receive, with no hidden charges. Beyond affordability, MedNOW offers the kind of personal, accessible care that is harder to find in large systems. Our providers take the time to truly know you, understand your health goals, and support your care over time. You will find easier appointment scheduling, shorter waiting times, and staff who recognize your name when you walk in the door. We believe that healthcare should be high-quality, transparent, and patient-focused—and that is exactly what you will find at MedNOW. Thank you for trusting us with your care.
