Social media and health trends seem to go hand-in-hand…but that doesn’t mean that the trends are healthy or safe.

When it’s time to start mak­ing your own doc­tor’s appoint­ments, here’s what you need to know about find­ing a provider, sched­ul­ing, and preparing.

Accord­ing to the Cen­ter for Dis­ease Con­trol and Pre­ven­tion (CDC), approx­i­mate­ly eight to ten per­cent of the Unit­ed States pop­u­la­tion will become sick with an influen­za (flu) virus each year. Addi­tion­al­ly, the aver­age Amer­i­can will catch between two to three colds per year. A cold and the flu are both caused by viral infec­tions and pro­duce a vari­ety of unpleas­ant symp­toms. Colds often are accom­pa­nied by nasal con­ges­tion and/​or a run­ny nose, sneez­ing, cough­ing and a sore throat. Flu virus­es can cause sim­i­lar symp­toms as well as fatigue, fever, head and body aches, and for some, diar­rhea and vom­it­ing. While there is no cure for either ill­ness, sev­er­al over-the-counter med­ica­tions and home reme­dies may offer symp­tom relief.

We know that excep­tion­al care comes from a team effort. Some of the most ded­i­cat­ed, com­pas­sion­ate mem­bers of that team are our Advanced Prac­tice Providers (APPs), includ­ing Nurse Prac­ti­tion­ers (NPs) and Physi­cian Assis­tants (PAs).
