Preventative Care & Staying Healthy

Healthcare isn’t only for when you’re sick. Preventive care can help you understand your health, catch potential concerns earlier, and get support before a problem becomes more serious.

But staying healthy isn’t just about individual choices. Having access to affordable healthcare, nutritious food, safe housing, transportation, time off work, supportive relationships, and understandable health information all affect our ability to care for ourselves.
