Experts Available to Discuss How Prevention Can Solve America's Healthcare Challenges

Posted on: Monday, 11 June 2007, 09:00 CDT

DALLAS, June 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Driven by personal experiences, entrepreneur Christopher Fey has launched an entirely new kind of healthcare company. Its goal is to motivate millions of consumers and employers to turn the nation's healthcare system 180 degrees -- from one that largely focuses on caring for the sick, to one that encourages people to take early steps to avert illness and enjoy more good years.

This message, which appears today in a full-page ad in The New York Times' "Business of Healthcare" supplement, persuades hospital executives, business leaders and consumers to embrace a prevention-based model of healthcare. U.S. Preventive Medicine(R) believes that prevention will not only save lives and extend the period of healthy life, but will also reduce healthcare costs and improve the productivity and vitality of our nation.

By introducing The Prevention Plan(TM), a groundbreaking benefit that will make preventive health services available to millions of consumer nationwide through their employers, U.S. Preventive Medicine hopes to empower individuals to take steps to detect and treat health risks early, before they become life- threatening. This program is being developed in partnership with hospitals and employers around the country and will be widely available in 2008.

If you are planning a future story on America's healthcare challenges, U.S. Preventive Medicine executives are available to comment on prevention and its critical role in helping to solve the current healthcare crisis:
