Keeping up with your preventive care is one of the most important things you can do to protect your health

Feeling pretty good today?

Then it’s a great time to call your doctor.

Keep on top of your health by scheduling a preventive care visit!

Preventive care (like checkups and screenings) is extremely important in keeping you healthy. In fact, it’s one of the best things you can do for your health. So how up to date are you?

Here’s what you need to know about preventive care:

It’s a whole lot more than just your yearly checkup. Preventive care is getting certain exams, tests and screenings throughout your life to make sure your body’s working the way it should. This type of care helps your doctor find medical problems early and treat them before they become serious. And by the way, most preventive care visits are at no cost to you.

Here’s what preventive care includes:

· Physical exams

· Screenings, like mammograms and colonoscopies

· Vaccinations, like flu shots

· Lab tests to check your cholesterol, sugar levels and more

So when and how often do you need preventive care?

We thought you might ask. Here’s a detailed list of preventive health care guidelines.

Preventive versus diagnostic care

You’ve heard both words, but what’s the difference?

· Preventive care helps protect you from getting sick.

· Diagnostic care is used to find the cause of existing illnesses.

For example: Your doctor may suggest you have a colonoscopy because of your age when you have no symptoms. That’s preventive care. But if you have symptoms and your doctor suggests a colonoscopy to see what’s causing them, that’s diagnostic care.
