Can a simple community screening actually change a life?
I’m so excited to share that my latest co-authored research has been published: “A Structured Community Health Screening Program and Impact on Patient Lifestyle Changes for Cardiovascular Risk Reduction.”
As a Registered Nurse and Diabetes Educator, I see the daily struggle of to managing chronic disease risks. We wanted to see if the Henry Ford Heart Smart Screening Program (HSSP)—which combines point-of-care testing with health coaching—could trigger a permanent lifestyle shift.
The result - it did!
Fact: When we bridge the gap between “screening” and “structured support,” we see a real reduction in cardiovascular risk factors. It’s about moving from reactive medicine to proactive, community-led wellness.
I’m incredibly proud of this initiative. Population Health and Preventative Care are our most powerful tools to combat disease globally.

Huge thanks to my co-authors and the community members who made this study possible.
