Preventive care services

Preventive care services are healthcare measures aimed at detecting, preventing, or reducing the risk of health problems before symptoms appear. This includes screenings, immunizations, counseling, and lifestyle advice to maintain health and catch issues early. Examples are flu shots, blood pressure checks, cancer screenings, and advice on quitting smoking. These services help individuals stay healthy, avoid more serious conditions later, and can save money by preventing costly treatments. Regular preventive care is an essential part of maintaining overall well-being and can be coordinated through your healthcare provider.
