Health Guidelines

Many of our patients are affected each day as a result of their unhealthy lifestyle and lack of preventive health measures. Over one-quarter of the residents in Monroe County have not had a routine health maintenance review and exam in the past three years. The use of preventive screenings for cancer and heart disease are as low as 28%.

This tool was developed to help providers educate and inform their patients about age and gender appropriate recommended health guidelines in an efficient and supportive manner. By distributing these healthy guideline cards to patients, we hope to increase the number of people who adhere to the recommended screening guidelines and, ultimately, to reduce the number of deaths in our community related to unhealthy behavior or from the lack of preventive screening.
