PREVENTIVE HEALTH

PREVENTIVE CARE

Overview

Nearly half of adults in the U.S. could benefit significantly from preventive care measures, yet many neglect these vital health practices. Preventive care means taking steps to prevent diseases before they happen, aiming to maintain and improve long-term health. This proactive approach can greatly impact both your personal and professional life by preventing or delaying the onset of diseases.

Every year, countless adults miss the opportunity to take advantage of preventive care due to lack of information or misunderstandings about its benefits, leading to preventable diseases, diminished quality of life, and increased healthcare costs. Studies indicate that individuals who engage in regular preventive care practices experience fewer healthcare issues, reduced stress, and an overall improvement in their quality of life.
