Regular Screenings Save Lives

Preventive health care can help you stay healthier throughout life. This means going to the doctor when you are well — not just when you’re sick — to help maintain your well-being for a long and healthy life. Preventive health is the best way to find health problems early, when treatment is the most successful. It can also help prevent diseases and complex medical issues. Care includes services such as check-ups, vaccines, laboratory tests, cancer screenings and educational counseling.

Why Prevention Matters

Did you know that more than 100,000 lives could be saved each year if everyone in the United States got their recommended screenings?
