Preventative health initiatives

Preventative health initiatives are programs and strategies aimed at improving health and well-being by reducing the risk of diseases before they occur. These may include vaccinations, regular screenings (like mammograms and blood pressure checks), promoting healthy lifestyles through nutrition and exercise, and educational campaigns about avoiding harmful behaviors (like smoking and excessive drinking). The goal is to catch health issues early and encourage people to adopt habits that support their long-term health, ultimately reducing healthcare costs and improving quality of life.
