Preventative medicine is a medical specialty that is involved in the healthy of individuals and communities. The major goal of preventative medicine is to encourage the health and well-being of others. As well as prevent death, disease and disabilities. A couple of examples of preventative medicine would be childhood immunizations and screening for hypertension.
