"During the pandemic, many Americans reported delaying or skipping medical care, which in turn can result in poorer health outcomes, especially for vulnerable populations," said Sara Michael, SVP & Group GM, Health at Dotdash Meredith. "To combat this, Verywell Health launched its first digital issue to inform and motivate people to re-engage with their health-care providers, and provide actionable steps for building a lasting lifestyle that puts their well-being first."

The Preventive Health Issue is headlined by TV personality and bestselling author, Jonathan Van Ness, as its cover star. Van Ness is an impassioned advocate on life-saving care for the LGBTQ+ community, and an outspoken ally for those living with HIV (including themself) so they may receive better access to preventive treatments. In addition to a candid interview with the Queer Eye star, readers will find information on annual cancer screenings, tips for oral health care, the importance of routine vaccinations, and more. The issue further takes readers through personal stories from people living with different health conditions, and an expert corner with insights from frontline workers.

"As a physician, I've seen firsthand how health behaviors and conversations have shifted, creating new challenges for patients and an onslaught of misinformation," said Dr. Jessica Shepherd, Chief Medical Officer, Verywell Health. "To help guide readers during times they need most, our new Verywell Health digital issues provide straightforward information, and answer vital questions that empower our audience to take a proactive role in their health."
