The Forefront of Medicine

What is Precision Medicine?  Precision medicine embraces the “this is right for you, personally” approach instead of a “one-size-fits-all” approach. This unique type of medicine focuses on healthcare, disease treatment and prevention by utilizing genetic information to guide a patient’s healthcare path.

Knowledge is power – and understanding your risk of disease can help you make informed healthcare and lifestyle decisions. At St. Elizabeth Healthcare, we use genetic testing to examine disease risk factors, including your family history, personal health history, and genetic testing. 

When a patient decides to move forward with genetic testing, we use the results to develop a personalized healthcare and prevention plan. The shift from reactive to proactive medicine is empowering for both physicians and their patients. A genetic specialist is right here for you at each step along the way.

How Does the Process Work?

Choose from one of our five offerings below to learn more and connect with one of our experts directly.  St. Elizabeth is the only program in Northern Kentucky to offer our patients on-site genetic counselors. We’re here to help – call us today to schedule an appointment to learn if genetic testing is the right choice for you.
