WithHealth Member Stories
Proactive, Preventative & Predictive
Helping WithHealth Precision Care members live their best lives.
Meet Beverly
Beverly signed up for WithHealth almost entirely because of the DNA test that comes in each patient’s WithHealth Precision Care Kit, and the promise of working through the findings with a WithHealth physician. She has been to see so many doctors over the years – so many miles on the car, so many hours in waiting rooms, so many times having to fill one doctor in on the findings of another. And, of course, so much out of pocket expense…
Meet Rebecca
Rebecca is particularly interested in learning about her cancer risk (she has Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry on the paternal side, which may put her at a higher risk for breast cancer), as well as any fertility issues she may be facing. Upon testing, she learns several important things about her health in her Precision Care Visit with her WithHealth physician…
Meet Benjamin
Benjamin wakes up to the first snow flurry of the year a few days before Thanksgiving. As the day goes on, he finds himself experiencing an overall sense of worry and anxiety as a result of the unrelenting grey skies. He’s felt this before. Around this same time each year, he experiences decreased motivation and pleasure in doing things he typically enjoys during other seasons. Benjamin has never really considered asking a professional about this gloominess. No one in his family has sought out therapy before. This season, though, something is different that allows him to reconsider reaching out for help – he’s now a member of WithHealth.
Meet Ryan
Ryan, who mostly never worried about anything, has suddenly become acutely aware of his own mortality. His own dad died when he was young. He doesn’t want that to happen to his kids – he is committed to doing all he can to ensure he is around for them for as long as possible…
Meet Sam
Sam has been challenged lately. He’s 36 years old and in a physically demanding job that has taken its toll on him physically. He’s on some medication to help him manage his physical symptoms, and wants to continue to active, but for the longest time he just hasn’t felt like the mediation is doing the job. Both he and his doctors are hesitant to up his dosage, so he’s been powering through, trying to ignore the pain that creeps into his afternoons and evenings. After becoming a WithHealth Precision Care patient, Sam sits down for his initial physician visit and is given a host of information about his health…
Meet George
George is only 29 years old, and while he doesn’t always eat as well as he knows he should, he considers himself to be of average health. He isn’t experiencing any symptoms, has no serious health concerns, and hasn’t been particularly proactive about seeing a doctor on a regular basis – after all, he is young and fairly healthy, right? His employer offers Precision Care, so George decides to join and completes his preventative genetic test…
