Your Guide to Preventive Health Screenings

Preventive health screenings are a critical part of staying healthy, especially as you age. Here’s what you need to know about common screenings.

Blood Pressure Screening

High blood pressure often has no symptoms but can lead to serious health problems. Adults should have their blood pressure checked at least once a year.

Cholesterol Screening

High cholesterol increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. Talk to your provider about when to start screening and how often.

Diabetes Screening

If you’re over 45 or have risk factors like obesity or a family history of diabetes, regular screening can help catch the condition early.

Cancer Screenings

Depending on your age and risk factors, screenings for breast, cervical, colorectal, and lung cancer may be recommended.
