Selected Preventive Screening
Recommendations
Preventive screenings are an important part of health promotion
efforts. Many preventive screenings have been recognized as a
cost-effective way to identify and treat potential health problems before
they develop or worsen.
Selecting a Fitness Center
According to the International Health, Racquet, and Sportsclub
Association (IHRSA) there are more than 26,000 fitness related clubs in
the United States. Many facilities offer safe and attractive places to
exercise but the quality of staff, equipment, and programs vary greatly.
It is important to carefully evaluate your fitness center options before
making a selection.
