Our CEO David Paragamian moderated a discussion at the recent Digital Innovation Week between our SVP/Chief Content Officer, Maria Lissandrello, and Duke University’s, Julius Wilder, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine, as they discussed why the most important number that determines a patient’s long term health outcome is NOT their weight, their BMI, their HBa1c – it is their zip code.
