What is Preventative health?

Going for check-ups and vaccinations regularly, making healthy choices every day, and getting screened early are all examples of preventative health.

  When you do these things, you lower your chances of getting really sick. It’s all about staying well and feeling good, so you can enjoy life without having to worry too much about getting sick.

What’s up with Cancer Screenings?

NOWINCLUDED member, Linda, encourages others to get their yearly mammogram (breast cancer screening) after early detection saved her own life. The story may inspire you.

Why is preventative health so
important for the Black community?!

Fairness in Healthcare

Preventative health helps make sure everyone in our community gets the same chance to see a doctor and get the care they need.

Finding Problems Early

Regular check-ups and tests help find conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes sooner, which affect the Black community more often. This means treatments can start early and work better.

Feeling Better, Longer

By eating well, staying active, and getting checked regularly, our Black communities stay healthier and feel good for longer. This helps reduce the chances of getting sick with serious problems like heart disease and certain cancers.
