Are You Up to Date on Your Preventive Care?
The Maine CDC offers screening and prevention services for cancer, infectious disease, oral health, and lead prevention.
At a glance
Making healthy choices can help you avoid many chronic diseases and can even lower your risk of severe illness from some infectious diseases, such as the flu and COVID-19. But healthy behaviors are only part of the picture. Getting routine preventive care can help you stay well and catch problems early.
Breast and Cervical Health Screening Services
The Cancer Prevention and Control Programs focus on cancer surveillance, screening, health outcomes, and evidence-based interventions. Patients can get help to pay for breast and pelvic exams, Pap and HPV tests, mammograms, and some diagnostic or follow-up services.
Infectious Disease Prevention Program
The Maine CDC Infectious Disease Prevention Program is here to help you understand your risks and decide on an STD screening schedule that is right for you. That could mean getting screened once, twice, or even four times a year. Visit GetMEScreened and find a service.
Oral Health
The Maine CDC provides leadership to improve the State's oral health. We promote proven interventions, such as community water fluoridation and dental sealants, to reduce the rate of cavities, especially for people at highest risk. We also support data collection efforts to help monitor progress towards improving Maine's oral health.
Lead Prevention Screening
The Maine CDC works to detect and address exposures to lead hazards. Through strategic inspections and abatement, as well as public education campaigns and testing, the Maine CDC is leading efforts to permanently eliminate lead exposure to children in Maine. Order a free home lead dust test kit.
