Cancer Screening
If you’re like many people, you don’t think about your health until you’re sick. But a little preventive care can help you stay healthy and even save you from chronic disease.
Use the chart below to make sure you are the healthiest version of yourself.
Cancer Screening
Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the U.S., but the good news is that survival rates are increasing across the board. The earlier cancer is detected, the easier it may be to treat and even cure. Types of cancer screenings include breast cancer, cervical cancer and colorectal cancer.
Talk with your doctor about getting screened for cancer.
Hypertension Screening
Nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure. Sadly, many aren’t even aware because there are no outward symptoms. We recommend getting your blood pressure checked at least once per year.
Avoid heart health issues by knowing your numbers.
Annual Wellness Check
Yearly check-ins are a time to get updates on your height, weight, blood pressure and other standard health facts. It can also be a time for you to schedule preventive exams specific to your age, gender and medical history.
Mental Health and Substance Use
In addition to watching your physical health, building a solid support network of family, friends and coworkers can help you during life’s ups and downs.
Discuss any mental health and substance use concerns with your primary care provider.
