Preventive Health and Immunization Guidelines

The Care You Need to Stay Healthy
We want to help you and your family stay healthy. That's why we collaborated with Massachusetts Health Quality Partners (MHQP) to develop these preventive health guidelines. The MHQP is a coalition of health care providers, health plans, and purchasers that work together to promote improvement in the quality of health care services.

These preventive health guidelines are quality reference tools that we hope you will find helpful. But, it is important to remember, although these guidelines are useful tools, it is important to discuss all of your health care concerns with your doctor. Your doctor will work with you and your family to make sure you have all the appropriate tests and screenings.
