Staying healthy is important and one way to do that is getting your preventive care. Screening tests help find diseases early, before you have symptoms. This is when diseases are easier to treat. Which screening tests you need, depends on your age, family history, your own health history and other risk factors.
We are focusing on women’s health this month along with our Well Wisconsin Radio October session. In November, we will be covering men’s health.
Please review the guidelines at the link below and then have a conversation with your health care provider or a loved one, to make sure you or a loved one in your life is up to date with the screenings they need.
Preventative Health Guidelines for Women
After reviewing the guidelines, making sure you are up-to-date, and discussing preventative screening with a loved one, please complete and submit the worksheet linked above to complete this October Wellness Activity and get a wellness incentive!
