“Public health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private communities, and individuals.”
~ CEA Winslow
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) remain the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death — one person dies every 34 seconds.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death, with more than 1.9 million new cases expected each year.
Early-onset colorectal cancer is emerging as a critical public health crisis — now a leading cause of cancer-related death among adults under age 50.
Behind every statistic is a family. For every patient – everywhere, MADP is working to change these outcomes.
MADP is committed to ensuring that every patient – regardless of geographic location, income, or zip code – has access to precision medicine testing.
Through partnerships with medical research institutions, life science companies, and investment leaders – we bridge innovation with MADP public health impact. Together we we expand access to smarter diagnostics and breakthrough treatments that save lives.
Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the U.S., exceeded only by heart disease. Each year, over 1.9 million new cancer cases are diagnosed.
Reality → Only 5–10% of cancers are inherited. The majority arise from acquired (somatic) genetic mutations that develop over a person’s lifetime due to environmental exposures, lifestyle factors, or random errors in cell division rather than an inherited genetic mutation present from birth.
Precision Oncology → Precision medicine in cancer care, tailoring treatment to each patient’s unique tumor biomarkers and genetic profile.
MADP Public Health Impact → Ensuring every community has access to precision cancer testing. By understanding the unique genetic profile of each patient’s cancer, doctors can guide more personalized, targeted treatments – leading to better outcomes.
At MADP, we believe where you live should not determine your access to life-saving cancer testing. We help patients understand their options while working to ensure that tumor biomarker testing is available in every community, giving all patients the opportunity to receive care tailored to their unique cancer.

When clinicians are supported, patients benefit – and prevention becomes possible for every community. MADP equips healthcare professionals with resources for precision medicine diagnostics to promote smarter screening, earlier detection, and preventive care.
We deeply value the expertise and dedication of clinicians. In partnership with providers and health systems, MADP works to ensure they have the support and resources needed to deliver the best possible care — advancing early detection and prevention of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).
Clinicians are on the frontlines of the fight against chronic disease. Physicians and hospital systems play a critical role in protecting patients – but they face enormous challenges as clinical demands continue to grow. MADP helps ease this burden.
MADP Precision Public Health: Smarter Screening. Smarter Testing. Earlier Intervention. → Helping clinicians integrate the latest preventive and diagnostic strategies into patient care – extending clinical impact across populations through education, collaboration, and community outreach.
MADP Precision Nutrition® | Food as Medicine Initiative → MADP partners with healthcare providers to offer free nutrition support for patients, delivering actionable, therapeutic nutrition strategies that strengthen prevention efforts and support chronic disease management. Providers interested in participating are encouraged to contact our team.
Please join Dr. Chris Huff, Board-Certified Cardiologist and Cassandra Isley, CEO of MADP Alliance for Disease Prevention to learn more.
PCHP Podcast _ Advanced Biomarker Testing and the Future of Preventive Cardiology.
Chris Huff, MD, FACC, FSVM, RPVI, board-certified cardiologist at OhioHealth Heart and Premier Cardio Health and MADP Alliance for Disease Prevention CEO, Cassandra Isley, MT(ASCP) – discuss how advanced biomarkers like ApoB and Lipoprotein(a) can improve early detection of cardiovascular risk.
Despite recognition by leading cardiology organizations, these tests remain underused in primary care – representing a critical opportunity for smarter screening, precision prevention, and stronger patient–provider partnerships to stay ahead of heart disease.
MADP welcomes partnerships with mission-aligned organizations, corporations, and nonprofits committed to advancing noncommunicable chronic disease (NCD) prevention, precision medicine, and value-based care.
Together, these partnerships drive large-scale public health impact – enabling MADP to expand critical patient support resources and prevention initiatives across all communities.
Advancing healthcare requires strategic collaboration. By working together, we can close the gap.
As part of this shared mission, we invite you to explore the American Medical Association’s work on value-based care:_ What Is Value-Based Healthcare? – AMA 2025.
MADP patient guides and supportive resources help individuals understand the drivers of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), explore appropriate testing options, and engage in informed conversations with their healthcare providers – enabling them to take an active role in protecting their long-term health. Early detection and prevention save lives.
As a national public health nonprofit, MADP works hand-in-hand with patient groups and community organizations to provide trusted, supportive resources for individuals and families in every community.
For many, navigating today’s complex healthcare system can feel overwhelming. MADP bridges that gap – ensuring patients everywhere have access to the knowledge, tools, and guidance needed for earlier detection and smarter prevention.
A few highlights from our MADP Patient Resource Support include:
