New Year Provides Opportunity to Set Healthy Goals for Future

Adults across the country can now access comprehensive preventive care without visiting a doctor’s office. Quest Diagnostics is launching a consumer-initiated virtual preventive care service that will empower individuals to take control of their health by offering many of the tests and biometric screenings that a doctor would typically order as part of an annual physical, as well as a virtual consultation with a healthcare practitioner at no additional charge.

The offering is called the Comprehensive Health Profile and is designed to meet the needs of individuals who want more visibility into their own health information and access to preventive care at their fingertips.

Specifically, the QuestDirect offering includes lab tests, a behavioral risk assessment, weight, blood pressure and other information that will provide individuals a personalized snapshot of their overall health. The Comprehensive Health Profile will also be combined with a Health Risk Assessment to provide a unique Health Quotient Score, which can be tracked over time to gauge progress against one’s goals. This score is unique to each individual and factors in family health history, health and wellness behaviors, biometrics, and lab test results.

This offering offers a new way for individuals to rethink their annual physical. That’s especially important as studies show that many people haven’t visited a doctor during the pandemic or have avoided regular preventive care due to issues of convenience, privacy and trouble accessing healthcare services.

Dr. Jeffrey Dlott, Medical Director, Consumer Health, Quest Diagnostics, will discuss the new virtual preventive care service and how it can help individuals take control of their health with ease and convenience.

Today, lack of access to safe water and adequate sanitation is one of the most important threats to human well-being throughout the world. Water-related diseases are a major contributor to the global burden of illness. No other single intervention is more likely to have a significant impact on global health than the provision of safe water. This timely conference at the United Nations seeks to show how to fully integrate safe water in countries’ disease reduction strategies — a pre-requisite to achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The conference also seeks to provide the basis for preventive action by leaders of governments, international organizations, and private sector, managing critical water resources and services for public health.

Almost fifty per cent of the developing worlds population 2.5 billion people lack improved sanitation facilities, and over 884 million people still use unsafe drinking water sources. Inadequate access to safe water and sanitation services, coupled with poor hygiene practices, kills and sickens thousands of children every day, and leads to impoverishment and diminished opportunities for thousands more.

Diseases spread by unsafe water cause 3 million deaths a year. Young children are the most likely to suffer and die from these diseases. Diarrhea, primarily a disease of dirty water, is the biggest killer of children under five in poor countries, resulting in nearly 4,000 preventable deaths each day, 1.8 million per year. At any given time, almost half of all people living in developing countries are suffering from a health problem caused by lack of safe water and sanitation that undermines their ability to study or work. Every year, children miss more than 443 million school days because of water-related illnesses.

This year 559,650 Americans are expected to die of cancer, more than 1,500 a day, estimates the NCI. Fear and anxiety of a cancer diagnosis remain strong deterrents to early testing and treatment! Dr. Mary Harris says: “Studies tell us that about a third of the Latino population and 20% of African-Americans have no health insurance coverage! When cost is not a factor, people are more likely to get the preventive screening tests that could save their lives.”
