09-09-24 The Medical Messenger: Cathy Calva Cather
Twenty-Seventh Episode: Have you or anyone you love suffered an adverse effect from a prescribed or over-the-counter medication? Cathy had four loved ones affected within two years. She co-founded Parallel Testing and launched Parallel Profile™ to reduce the number of deaths (128,000/year, the fourth leading cause of death) and inpatient admissions (2.7 million/year) from adverse reactions to FDA-approved medications. Parallel Profile is available to employers interested in improving the quality of care available to their employees and eliminating preventable and wasted costs for hospital care (over $200 billion/year) and drug failures. According to a senior exec at GlaxoSmithKline, 90 percent of drugs don’t work for 30 to 50 percent of the people who take them. Cathy’s mission is to identify better alternatives that will work safely for each patient. She has a proven track record of developing and accelerating the growth of innovative healthcare companies that have a financial imperative to make health care more affordable, of higher quality, and more readily accessible. Please join us for a very informative conversation.
