What is preventive care?

  • November 11, 2025 23:45

Preventive care helps you stay healthy by providing steps to reduce your risk of illness or chronic disease, and by catching potential health issues early. This includes screenings, health assessments, vaccinations and personalized guidance based on your age, health history, and risk factors.

Regular preventative care is helpful in detecting conditions like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer at their earliest, most treatable stages.
