Deborah from Atlanta shares why she chose to participate in the Future of Medicine community health screening program. After struggling with high cholesterol for the past three years despite a healthy lifestyle, she’s eager to understand the deeper causes behind her condition. With a family history of heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure, Deborah emphasizes the importance of proactive health management.
”Even with diet and exercise, my cholesterol remains high, and it’s really scared me,” she admits, highlighting how research can provide answers that routine doctor visits might overlook. Deborah also stresses the value of access to health screenings for those who might face barriers to care or lack insurance coverage for comprehensive tests.
”If your health is important to you and you want deeper testing, please come out to these events,” she encourages others.
