Preventative measures in the realm of healthcare are vital tools to ensuring you and your healthcare provider stay two steps ahead of any medical issues that you may face. Healthcare screenings are key to identifying any potential red flags in your health and well-being. What measures should you be taking? Here are some preventative screenings that could help you stay on top of any indicators that something could be wrong with your health:

  • Mammograms
  • Self-breast exams
  • Prostate exams
  • Physicals and annual check-up
  • Dental cleanings and well exams
  • Blood work and labs
  • Pap smears and gynecological exams
  • Dermatological exams
  • Colonoscopies
