Why Medicine Needs To Focus On Prevention

June 25, 2024 • Dr. Robert Hariri • Season 1 • Episode 15

How much is it costing us to wait until illness or disease before taking action? And when should people begin preventative screening?

In this first of a two-part episode with Dr. Frank Dos Santos, we dive into some of the flaws in the current healthcare system, as well as what's being done to fix them.

Dr. Dos Santos also lost his wife to lung cancer several years ago. He discusses some of the current shortcomings in detection, and highlights important charity work being done in the lung cancer prevention space.

Dr. Frank Dos Santos is the Chief Medical Officer at RWJ Barnabas Health. Previously, he was the Chief Medical Officer for the US Nave East, where he was responsible for a Global DOD healthcare spanning four continents, and prior to that he was a Navy and Marine Corps Emergency Medical Service Leader, and Senior Medical Officer in the US Navy.
