Avoiding getting sick
Illness prevention refers to actions taken to avoid disease or injury before it occurs.
This includes vaccination, healthy lifestyle choices, regular screenings, and environmental controls.
The clinic focuses on illness prevention rather than treatment.
Public health campaigns emphasize illness prevention as more cost-effective than treating conditions after they develop.
