Prevention Made Easy With myhealthfinder

From the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion

When it comes to prevention, it can be difficult to understand what it means for each of us and the decisions we make about our health. The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) developed myhealthfinder, a web-based tool, to make it easier, reliable, and ad-free.

myhealthfinder, available in both English & Spanish, can help you decide which preventive services are right for you. Preventive services include things like medical tests and vaccines that can prevent illness and keep you healthy. These services are recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the Bright Futures Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children, and Adolescents.

To use myhealthfinder, visit www.healthfinder.gov. In the upper right corner, you will find myhealthfinder. Simply enter your age, sex, and pregnancy status to receive your personalized health information and resources.
