Preventative (or preventive) care refers to medical services aimed at preventing illness before it occurs, including routine checkups, vaccinations, screenings, and health counseling. It's a core focus for primary care physicians, nurses, and public health professionals seeking to catch health issues early and reduce long-term healthcare costs. Insurance plans often cover preventative services at no additional cost to encourage regular use.
