You don’t have to wait until you feel sick to take care of your health.
Health screenings can help find health concerns early, sometimes before you notice any symptoms. Early detection can make it easier to manage a condition, start treatment, and protect your long-term health.

Preventive care can include screenings and checkups for:
• Blood pressure and heart health
• Diabetes and cholesterol
• Breast and cervical health
• Prostate health
• HIV and hepatitis C
• Colorectal cancer
• Lung cancer
• Skin cancer
• Dental health
• Vision and eye health

The screenings you need may change throughout your life. Your age, family history, medical history, lifestyle, and other risk factors can all affect which screenings are right for you. Regular checkups help you stay informed about your health.
Talk with your healthcare provider about the screenings you need and make preventive care part of your health routine. Your future self will thank you!
