The ABC Prevention Plan: A Birthday Call for Peace of Mind

With the priorities you set for family, friends, career, and community, it’s no wonder it can be hard to manage the most important thing that makes everything else work: Your Health.

That’s why almost 40% of busy women fail to have NAF cytology, clinical breast examination, and screening mammograms on the schedule recommended by the American Cancer Society and other professional groups. Use the ABC Prevention Plan and never miss the right appointments for you.

“A Birthday Call” or ABC means taking 5 minutes on your birthday every year to call your healthcare providers to schedule the screening programs that are appropriate for your age that year.

Use the chart below, in discussion with your healthcare provider, to plan and schedule your screening exams based on your age, as shown.

Give yourself a birthday call this year!
