An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure
PrimaCare's SMART program, Special Medical Assistance Regarding Travel, is designed to protect the international traveler against the potentially dangerous risk of disease. Travel abroad, whether for business, pleasure or study, can be an adventure of a lifetime. But unless some simple precautions are taken, it may not be the safe and healthy experience you envision. Having the proper pre-travel vaccinations, prescriptions and health-related information can make the difference. These services are only provided at our Northwest Dallas and West Plano locations.

Remember, be SMART.
Prevention and preparation can save you time and money,
and offer you considerable peace of mind.
