Why Prevention
"More Good Years & Your Financial Portfolio"
First of all, five diseases – heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (bronchitis, emphysema) and diabetes - cause more than two-thirds of all U.S. deaths annually and reduce quality of life for those living with these diseases.
Sadly, in most cases these conditions could have been prevented altogether.
The Center for Preventive Medicine North Texas, along with U.S. Preventive Medicine, is committed to changing the health care paradigm in America from treating diseases to preventing them altogether.
Early detection through regular preventive screenings, along with behavior modification, such as smoking cessation, exercise, reduced alcohol consumption and better nutrition can save millions of lives and trillions of dollars in health care costs each year.
Second, it is an economic fact that when a person has an major healthcare issue such as heart attack, stroke or cancer the cost to their family and their financial portfolio is dramatically impacted. Latest estimates state that a stroke can impact your financial portfolio up to one-third of its total value.
The Center for Preventive Medicine North Texas is part of a prevention revolution aimed at helping you, your family, friends and co-workers improve the quality and longevity of your lives to enjoy More Good Years™.
