“I am excited to continue pursuing Fountain Life’s mission to improve longevity and quality of life not only through early screening and diagnosis but identifying the underlying drivers of disease in the first place. When these are addressed not only can chronic disease be prevented, but it can also be reversed,” commented Dr. Messier. “By leveraging AI technologies and advanced diagnostic testing we can identify conditions such as cancer, cardiac, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases at their earliest stages and this early detection can have a tremendous impact on patient lifespan and well-being. I look forward to bringing the capabilities of Fountain Life to more people as we expand throughout the U.S. and globally.”
