Health Maintenance Guidelines
Health maintenance and disease prevention are high priorities at Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF). Our Health Maintenance Guidelines Task Force, comprised of primary care physicians, specialists, and health educators, reviews new information and regularly updates our recommendations regarding who needs which screening tests and when. We review controversies as they come up, examining the medical literature and the quality of the published evidence. PAMF's Health Maintenance & Disease Prevention Guidelines summarize the tests and evaluations we recommend for healthy individuals and how often they should be completed. Please select one of the links on the left for the age appropriate recommendations for preventive care and also for additional resources.
