Everyone needs to get regular health screenings. Work with your health care provider to determine which screens are best for your health and well-being. Together, you can establish a personal screening plan and address your health concerns. If you can’t visit a health care provider, other places in your community may offer health screens. Check your local pharmacy, health department and community clinic to see if they offer the screens you need.

Here are some links to find health screens in your community (download a PDF version):
