As Preventive Health Month comes to a close this August, we remain committed to keeping Sailors, Marines and their families, healthy, ready and on the job through prevention. Here are a few examples of preventive health initiatives in action across the Navy Medicine enterprise:
Preventive Health: Get Your Screenings
Preventive services and immunizations are your best defense against serious illness and preventable disease. The care team at Naval Hospital Jacksonville (our hospital and branch health clinics) stands ready to provide those services.

Health Test Recommended for All Women Under Age 25
Most people who have chlamydia don’t know it, since the disease often has no symptoms. Chlamydia is the most commonly reported sexually transmitted infection in the U.S. It’s easily cured, but can cause problems if left untreated.

Navy Medicine East maintains readiness through prevention
August is Preventive Health Month, a time to emphasize the importance of maintaining healthy lifestyles, getting regular checkups, screenings and vaccinations.
Preventive Medicine Takes the Fight to Diseases
Preventing a medical condition before it has a chance to affect others is the goal of Naval Hospital Pensacola’s Preventive Medicine Department.
