Importance of Preventive Care
Each of us is in control of our own health. At Aetna, we believe that preventive care is an important component of a wellness strategy and should be communicated to employees. A successful wellness strategy helps to educate employees about the importance of preventive care and encourages employees to seek services such as immunizations, cancer screenings and routine physicals in order to maintain or enhance their current health status. These preventive care services are key to maintaining one's optimal health, reducing risks and keeping your employees and their families healthy. To support employees' knowledge of preventive care, as well as to provide guidance regarding when to seek preventive care services, Aetna applies nationally accepted evidence-based guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in our program. We can provide a wealth of information and tools to help your employees make the best health choices possible for themselves and their families. Our toolkits provide you with turnkey communications to share with your employees to promote healthy living. For further information about preventive care, visit our Health and Wellness website. |
