If you are like most Americans, you will likely face serious but mostly avoidable chronic
health problems as you age. In fact, 7 out of 10 citizens die each year from such chronic
diseases. The good news is there is a solution—a focus on prevention can transform
your life.
With the help of MDPrevent, a new drug-free medical practice on the campus of Delray
Medical Center, people of all ages are discovering that they can change the course of
their lives while also lowering their out-of-pocket medical costs. Even those suffering
from high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, excessive weight, depression, heart
disease, diabetes, early dementia, or cancer can benefit from MDPrevent’s approach.
MDPrevent is an innovative physician-led practice providing patients with the tools and
detailed knowledge they need to stay healthy and prevent the development of chronic
and debilitating ailments. “Our goal is to help our patients avert problems before they
arise or get worse by identifying their individual health risk factors” says Dr. Steven
Charlap, M.D., M.B.A., a pioneering physician, and the founder and Chief Service
Officer of MDPrevent.
At its welcoming 4,500 square foot Preventive Medicine & Learning Center, MDPrevent
patients will receive either an Annual Wellness Visit, 100 percent Medicare-paid if
eligible, or they may pay out of pocket for the Baseline Health Assessment Program—
which starts with a two-hour initial consultation with a team of Preventioneers, including
a registered dietitian, health psychologist, and a nurse practitioner.
Following either type of assessment, they will be invited to join a program of ongoing,
low-cost educational and fitness seminars, including a core curriculum of transformative
and essential lifestyle knowledge. Dr. Charlap adds, “By offering a proprietary program
composed of interactive group learning experiences, we can address the risk factors
most responsible for chronic diseases.”
MDPrevent does not replace a patient’s existing physicians but rather serves to
complement their practices. “This is the first phase of changing the way we view
disease and healthy living,” said Dr. Meyer Cohen, of Premier Medical Associates
of Boca Raton, who is referring patients from his concierge medical practice to
MDPrevent.
