Preventative care saves lives. Regular screenings and checkups—such as blood pressure monitoring, glucose testing, cancer screenings, and immunizations—can detect health concerns early, leading to better outcomes and reduced healthcare costs. In community-based care, proactive screening programs ensure individuals are not overlooked due to barriers like transportation, language, or technology access. Mobile health units, home visits, and wellness fairs make it easier for clients to stay on top of their health. Educating individuals on what screenings are needed and when fosters self-advocacy and health literacy.
