Cassandra Isley, CEO of MADP, Speaks at Impact 100 RVA “The Big Event”

During her remarks, she addressed the critical importance of women’s health and the role of prevention in reducing the burden of chronic disease. She emphasized how proactive conversations with healthcare providers – particularly during annual well visits – can help identify risk earlier through appropriate, guideline-informed blood testing.
