Welcome to the Department for Medicaid Services (DMS) Health Information Page.
The purpose of this Web site is to encourage all Kentuckians to see their health care providers for well-care visits and to take steps to stay healthy.
Health care providers are also important in encouraging all Kentuckians to participate in preventive health care services, such as well-care visits, immunizations and screenings. Health care providers also teach Kentuckians about the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle.
The disease management and preventive programs were developed because of the April 2006 Health Care Reform legislation. KyHealth Choices and their partners are working together to develop programs to encourage Kentuckians to learn more about the following health care information:
Disease Management:
- Adult obesity
- Cardiac
- COPD/Adult Asthma
- Diabetes
- Pediatric Asthma
- Pediatric Diabetes
- Pediatric Obesity
Preventive:
- Minority Health
- Breast and Cervical Cancer Screenings
- Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
- Healthy at Heart
- Osteoporosis
- Prostate Cancer Screening
