Myth vs. Fact

Myth: “If I feel fine, I don’t need a checkup.”

Fact: Many health issues, like high blood pressure or diabetes, have no symptoms in the early stages.

Regular checkups help identify small problems before they become major issues.

Your health matters — even when you feel fine.

As CHIN prepares for its November lunch and learn, we want to remind you that "your health is your power."

The best time to take care of yourself is now — not when something goes wrong. Make that appointment, take that walk, drink that water — every small step adds up.

Remember: Preventive care is the best care. You deserve to feel your best every day.
