Know When to Get Screened
Early detection and screening can save lives.
Early detection is one of the most effective ways to treat and manage health conditions. Delaying care or avoiding screenings may turn a treatable condition into something more serious.
Even if you feel healthy and are not experiencing any symptoms, seeing your doctor regularly helps identify problems early when they’re easiest to treat.
