SchoolCare was founded in 1995 as the New Hampshire School Health Care Coalition by bringing together associations representing public entity management and labor groups in the state. The Coalition was formed in response to issues of providing employee health care, including quality, choice, cost control and service that public entities were facing. Today, over twenty-five years later, SchoolCare is still a well-regarded resource for public entities facing these same issues.

Why wait? The Importance of Early Detection
Published May 4, 2021
Have you heard the old saying that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"? Well, this holds true when it comes to your health and early detection. Regular preventive care is an important part of maintaining good health and well-being.
The Benefits of Prevention
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), chronic diseases can lower the quality of life for patients and their families. Making healthy lifestyle changes and focusing on early detection can also help you:
- Lessen the likelihood of developing a chronic condition
- Better manage a current chronic condition
- Lower healthcare costs
- Develop a proactive relationship with your doctor
If you haven’t already, don’t delay in scheduling your annual health screenings.
Option to Complete Preventive Care
Routine checkups, screenings, and immunizations can help you avoid serious health problems in the future. Additionally, you and your doctor can work as a team to manage your overall health and reach personal well-being goals.
- Schedule an appointment with your doctor. First and foremost, the best option is to make an appointment with your primary care physician (PCP). Open communication with your doctor provides an opportunity for a more collaborative approach to your care. Don’t have a PCP? Find an in-network provider near you at myCigna.com under Find Care & Costs.
- Utilize MDLive for virtual exams. During the pandemic, many have put off visiting their doctor’s office due to safety concerns. Keep in mind, you can always contact your doctor’s office to ask about their COVID-19 safety precautions. Additionally, you can schedule a virtual wellness screening with MDLive through Cigna - Learn more here.
If you haven’t already, don’t delay in scheduling your annual health screenings.
