Importance
Why are regular health checks important?

“Health checks can help identify health problems early.
With some health problems, you might not have any symptoms, or you may only notice symptoms in later stages. So, it’s important to have regular health checks even when you feel well”.2

Health Care Provider
Even if I feel fine, do I still need to see my health care provider for regular checkups?
Even if you feel fine, it may be in your best interest to choose to see your health care provider for regular checkups.
In Health Screenings for Women Ages 40 To 64: Information the (United States) MedlinePlus elaborate on:
“Even if you feel fine, you should still see your provider for regular checkups. These visits can help you avoid problems in the future. For example, the only way to find out if you have high blood pressure is to have it checked regularly. High blood sugar and high cholesterol levels also may not have any symptoms in the early stages. A simple blood test can check for these conditions”.3
