I am passionate about protecting the Earth, so that everyone can enjoy better health. Planet Health = Human Health. While disease is inevitable, I look forward to a future where we can identify disease risk for individuals and work to predict and prevent disease resulting in a healthier, more productive lifespan. We all need to work together to transform our healthcare system to one that is predictive and preventative rather than reactionary.
