”It’s very important that we get tested for this, to know if we are one of the people who has an issue,” Patty says, hoping that participation in health screenings like this can not only improve her own health but provide insights for future generations.

She encourages others to take action, saying, “Do it for yourself, for others, and for all of us. It’s simple, easy, and friendly—there’s nothing to fear.”
