This Men's Health Awareness Month, let's focus on proactive healthcare. Heart disease, cancer, and stroke are leading causes of death among men, often due to missed diagnoses. At Van Wey, Metzler & Williams, we hold healthcare providers accountable for such oversights.

Interstitial lung disease (#ILD) is difficult to recognize, which can lead to delayed diagnosis and irreversible scarring of the lungs (#PulmonaryFibrosis).    During #ATS2024, I had the opportunity to listen to an insightful conversation about what it is like to live with ILD, featuring pulmonologist, Dr. Tanzira Zaman, and Brittany, an advocate living with scleroderma-associated ILD.     Their discussion underscored the significance of a multidisciplinary approach. Importantly, they addressed that collaborative care does not have to be formal to be impactful. It can be as simple as a phone call or personal communications between healthcare professional teams, always keeping the patient at the center.    #PatientCentricity #LifeForward #ATSCommunity
