Preventative Care

Preventative care refers to healthcare services and measures taken to prevent illnesses, injuries, and other health-related issues before they occur. It is an approach focused on maintaining health and well-being rather than solely treating diseases after they develop. Preventative care includes a range of services, such as regular health screenings, immunizations, wellness check-ups, patient education, and counseling on lifestyle choices like diet and exercise. By identifying risk factors and implementing interventions early, preventative care aims to reduce the likelihood of more serious health problems arising, ultimately improving quality of life and reducing healthcare costs over time.
