About This Program

TravelWell, Franciscan Health’s travel medicine services, offers preventative care for international travelers regardless of destination. Our travel medicine centers create a prevention plan for each traveler, considering their itinerary, travel activities, medical history and the destination’s current medical environment.

Our comprehensive travel services include:

Individual consultation: All clients meet with a physician specializing in preventive and tropical medicine.
Immunizations: A complete range of CDC-recommended vaccinations to help travelers prepare, including yellow fever vaccine. International Certificate of Vaccination is also provided.
Up-to-date risk information: Our travel medicine service specialists evaluate the traveler’s current state of health, intended activities and itinerary, defining the risks they might encounter and recommending precautions.
Education: We offer extensive learning materials to help travelers avoid problems at their destination.
Medications: We prescribe medicines to prevent malaria or altitude-related conditions or to treat traveler’s diarrhea.
Continuity of care: Our office prepares a report for primary care physicians in order to keep the traveler’s personal health record up to date.

If possible, it is recommended that travelers schedule their appointment a few months in advance. The initial consultation lasts approximately one hour and may require follow up appointments, depending on vaccination dosages.
