Prevention is the quiet work that keeps you out of the hospital. 🩺 Some screenings have clear evidence: catching a problem early is almost always easier than treating it late.

Preventive health screenings

Key screenings by age

20s–30s Blood pressure, cholesterol Every 2–4 years
40s Blood sugar, eye exam Every 3 years
50s Colonoscopy, mammogram Per doctor guidance

Why early detection wins 📊
