Preventative care

The methodology of "Preventative care" is gaining popularity with both providers and consumers. Preventative medicine at its root, seeks to maintain the body in a way to prevent major and avoidable ailments in the future, leading to not just a higher standard of living and healthier patient, but much less stress on the healthcare infrastructure as a whole. Whereas previously healthcare primarily focused on resolving the catastrophic events such as cancer, preventative medicine seeks to greatly reduce cases of cancer by working with the healthcare consumer to engage in activities and lifestyle choices that lower their individual risk.
