The Ohio State University’s Center for Personalized Health Care is gathering academic leaders, industry experts, government policymakers and healthcare providers from across the country to discuss the latest developments in P4 Medicine, which is a novel approach to individualized medical care that engages consumer participation, predicts and prevents disease, facilitates health, and creates a personalized life strategy wellness plan for each individual.
The Johanna and Ralph DeStefano Personalized Health Care National Conference will be held Oct. 6-7 at the Blackwell Inn, located at 2110 Tuttle Park Place, on the campus of The Ohio State University.
With a theme of “The Future of P4 Medicine and Its Impact on Clinical Care,” attendees will hear from experts about revolutionizing medicine and transforming healthcare delivery in a way which will result in more precise, cost-effective and higher quality health care for patients. Topics will focus on the infrastructure necessary to enable P4 Medicine, applications of genetics and genomics in clinical medicine, the latest breakthroughs in science, patient engagement and the barriers to making P4 Medicine a reality.
Dr. Clay Marsh, executive director of OSU’s Center for Personalized Health Care, shares: We are leading the way in bringing P4 Medicine to our patients and consumers, and this year’s conference is focusing on its future and its impact on clinical care. Having visionaries and leaders like Johanna DeStefano support our national conference is a critical factor to bringing P4 Medicine to the community, to reduce costs and improve outcomes of healthcare delivery.
This year’s keynote speakers include:
Leading as the conference’s first keynote speaker and discussing targeted cancer therapies, Dr. William Dalton is a cancer researcher who is interested in basic and translational research in molecular mechanisms of drug resistance and new drug discovery.
