We know staying on top of the health conditions and concerns we may face after age 65 is an important part of the forward momentum that comes with aging. For example, many of us—even if we’re already living with several health conditions—are interested in steps we can take in advance to maintain overall well-being and make sure our needs and preferences still fit into our care.
"Preventive health" is the medical term for care that helps us protect, promote, and maintain health and well-being. If you’re an older adult or a caregiver for an older person, you can access important information here about wellness, preventative health, and other issues that can keep us healthy and safe for as long as possible.
