Talk About Preventive Health Experiences Here

Yesterday we discussed the importance of being open with others about your preventive health screening. There are several reasons that it is good to talk openly with people in your life about the fact that you are getting regular screening done for colon cancer, heart disease or other illnesses. Some of the reasons that you should be open about your screening include:

- You will feel better about the fears that you have when you are open about them.

- You will encourage family members to take responsibility for getting their own screening.

- You will help to raise general awareness of the importance of preventive screening which can lead to better screening rates and therefore to more funding for screening.

So it's a good thing to talk about preventive health screening. And why not start that conversation here? Your comments are always welcome on this blog .... Question of the Day: What have your experiences with preventive health screening been like? photo link
