“Our yearly check-ups started because I encouraged him to go with me, not because anything was wrong, but because I wanted us to stay ahead of things together. One early screening ended up catching something before it became serious, and that made us both take it even more seriously. Now it’s just part of our routine as a couple.

“I used to think check-ups were only for people who are sick. Then my daughter started insisting I go every year since I’m in my 50s. She books the appointment for me every year. An early screening means precaution before the situation gets worse. I realised she loves me, and this is the way she cares for me.
                    
Now the least I can do is care enough to show up for my yearly health screening. Today, my yearly check-ups are my non-negotiable.”

Over time we’ve seen how these screenings give peace of mind and keep surprises out of our lives. Now it’s simply how we look out for each other. We go together, every year, before life gets in the way”
