5 Screenings Worth Scheduling This Year

Preventive Care · 6 min read

Preventive screenings catch problems early, often before symptoms appear. Here are five that are easy to overlook but worth putting on your calendar this year.

1. Blood pressure check

High blood pressure often has no symptoms. A quick check during any visit can catch it early — ask your care team to include it at your next appointment.

2. Cholesterol panel

A simple blood test gives your doctor a clear picture of your cardiovascular risk and whether lifestyle changes or medication make sense for you.

3. Diabetes screening

Especially important if you have a family history or other risk factors — early detection makes management significantly easier.

4. Skin check

An annual look at moles and skin changes can catch early signs of skin cancer, one of the most treatable cancers when found early.

5. Vision and hearing

Both tend to change gradually, which makes them easy to miss. Regular checks help catch changes before they affect daily life.
