Cassandra Isley, CEO of MADP, Speaks at Impact 100 RVA “The Big Event”
Cassandra Isley, Chief Executive Officer of MADP Alliance for Disease Prevention, had the honor of serving as a guest speaker in March at Impact 100 RVA The Big Event in Richmond.
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.
