I continue to be a strong believer in the life-saving importance of early detection, and I encourage everyone to be proactive about their preventive screenings.

People need to pay attention to their bodies and go get a checkup. If you do that, you have a chance to help illnesses from getting even worse.

I want to thank the efforts of the American Public Health Association and its 200-plus partners who have organized events around the Nation that serve to raise everyone's awareness of the need to improve public health.

We should be concerned not only about the health of individual patients, but also the health of our entire society.

It's the age of information and we need to just get as informed as we can about what other things might help us live healthy lives.

I like to encourage people to realize that any action is a good action if it's proactive and there is positive intent behind it.

With some diseases, like type 2 diabetes, if people get alerted early, they can take steps to avert getting sick.

That's one of the ironies of our time: Right when we're on the edge of serious improvements in health care, we're also cooking the planet.

We need community action and policies to support healthy communities.

It's been proven that fitting more activity into your day can greatly improve your health.
