Preventive Care

Preventive care is the foundation of a healthy life, and our Women's Health physicians and midwives can work with you to detect any potential health problems early. By taking control of your health today, it’s possible to find (or even avoid) conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure and cancer that can go undetected. We want to empower you with the care you need for a healthy life.

Recommended Screenings by Age

Here are the Women's Health screenings recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the American Cancer Society. You can schedule these screenings at locations throughout the 13-county region of Southern Ohio. Based on your personal risk factors, family health history and current symptoms, your doctor may recommend you have some screenings earlier, later or more frequently.
