|January 2024
Push aside your excuses and start the new year off right by getting some critical health checks taken care of.
Dr. Streicher is a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and the author of Slip Sliding Away: Turning Back the Clock on Your Vagina.
I never miss my monthly pedicure, and by the time I leave the hair salon my next appointment is already on the books. Even my regular date with my dental hygienist for a cleaning never gets missed. It's other preventive things on the to-do list that seem to get put off, and put off, and put off...
So for the benefit of us all and to begin the year with a focus on better health-here are three tests we need to schedule now. And unlike a pedicure or a hair appointment, these three could save your life.
