Our genetics significantly impact our health, and yet are being overlooked in many employer health benefits, making it difficult for employees, their families, and their doctors to fully understand and manage costly health risks. This session will cover the studies that support the CDC's recommendation for population-screening of certain genes that significantly elevate one's risk of cancer and heart disease, as well as studies that quantify the human and financial benefit of guiding medications with genetic information. Attendees will also learn how to deliver personalized employee health and empower employees to be proactive about their health.
