Clinical preventive services, like screenings and vaccinations, are one of the most important tools to prevent health problems or stop them from getting worse. But 9 in 10 people in the United States aren’t getting all recommended preventive services, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only worsened this problem.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) created the Take Good Care campaign. The campaign focuses on Black and Hispanic women ages 45 to 54, who are often in a caregiving role and may be managing their family’s health care. Take Good Care is a call to action to encourage them to prioritize their health by using ODPHP’s MyHealthfinder tool to learn which preventive services they need.
The MyHealthfinder assessment tool recommends preventive services based on age, sex, and pregnancy status. MyHealthfinder also includes easy-to-understand information about clinical preventive services and other health topics.
The Partner Promotional Toolkit offers resources to help organizations promote the Take Good Care campaign in their communities. Please spread the word to your networks! Together, we can help people get the preventive care they need to stay healthy.
