Preventative Care

Preventative Care

Getting preventive care reduces the risk for diseases, disabilities, and death — yet millions of people in the United States don’t get recommended preventive healthcare services. Healthy People 2030 focuses on increasing preventive care for people of all ages.

People need regular well-visits and dental visits to assess their health status and find health problems early, when they’re usually easier to treat. Services like screenings and dental check-ups are key to keeping people of all ages healthy. But for a variety of reasons, many people don’t get the preventive care they need. Barriers include cost, not having a primary care provider, living too far from providers, and lack of awareness about recommended preventive services.

Teaching people about the importance of preventive care is key to making sure more people get recommended services. Law and policy changes can also help more people access these critical services.
