Well Moment: Prioritizing Preventive Health

Though most of us are aware of how preventive care can reduce our risk of the three Ds—disease, disability and death—we may not fully know the types of health screenings and preventive opportunities that keep our bodies and minds in optimal shape.

To hear how to get plugged into preventive health practices, don’t miss the next Well Moment webinar—set for Wed., May 4 at 12 p.m. CDT. Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) experts will be on hand to address the importance of wellness visits, explain the concept of whole-person health, and help you set and achieve health goals.

All are invited to hear our panel of experts discuss:

• The value of a primary care provider (PCP)—and how to make the most of a wellness visit
• The importance of preventive screenings and immunizations at all ages
• How physical and mental health are intertwined
• Ways to be more physically active that don’t involve a gym membership or fitness equipment
