clinical preventive services

Clinical preventive services are medical tests and screenings, vaccinations, and counseling offered by healthcare providers to detect or prevent health problems before symptoms appear. They help identify risks early, reduce the chance of serious illness, and promote healthier lifestyles. Examples include immunizations, blood pressure checks, cancer screenings, and advice on quitting smoking or maintaining a healthy weight. These services are an essential part of healthcare, aiming to keep people healthy and prevent diseases before they become more serious or harder to treat.
