Preventative Services Task Force

The Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is an independent group of experts that reviews scientific evidence to recommend the best screenings, checkups, and vaccinations to help prevent diseases before they start. Their goal is to improve health outcomes by guiding healthcare providers and the public on effective preventive care. These recommendations are based on thorough reviews of research to ensure they are safe and beneficial. They focus on common health issues like heart disease, cancer, and infections, aiming to catch problems early or prevent them altogether, ultimately promoting healthier lives.
