Preventive Care Essentials: Why Regular Checkups Matter for Everyone

Routine checkups allow your care team to review your medical history, assess risk factors, and recommend age- and gender-appropriate screenings. These may include blood pressure monitoring, cholesterol checks, diabetes screenings, cancer screenings such as cervical or colorectal tests, and immunizations like flu or HPV vaccines.

Preventive care visits also give you the chance to discuss any new symptoms or health concerns in a supportive setting, helping tailor your care plan to your unique needs.

One example is cervical health screening, which remains a critical preventive step for people with a cervix. Regular Pap smears and HPV vaccinations significantly reduce the risk of cervical cancer, but preventive care extends far beyond this, covering all aspects of your health.

Whether it’s maintaining heart health, managing weight, monitoring mental wellness, or keeping vaccinations up to date, preventive care is your best tool for a longer, healthier life.

If it’s been a while since your last checkup or you’re due for specific screenings, your Radish care team is ready to help you schedule appointments and guide you through the process.

Make preventive care a priority this year – because staying ahead of health concerns means more peace of mind and better quality of life.
