State of the Art Diagnostics Important to Detect, Diagnose and Personalize Treatment
WHAT: AdvaMed is holding a briefing for Congressional staff and the
media on the importance of molecular diagnostics in addressing
diseases that disproportionately impact the African-American
community.
There are many chronic diseases that disproportionately impact
African-Americans that, if caught earlier and managed more
effectively, would save lives and reduce costs to the health care
system.
A leading panel of experts will address the issue of health
disparities and ways to reduce them by improving access to
state of the art diagnostic laboratory tests.
