On June 17, 2010 Health Diagnostic Laboratory hosted an evening with Dr. Sam Fillingane at The Jefferson Hotel. This heavily attended educational presentation, entitled “Beating Cardiovascular Disease,” received tremendous praise from medical leaders throughout Central Virginia.

Dr. Fillingane, a widely acclaimed speaker on cardiovascular risk reduction, practices family medicine in Flowood, Mississippi. With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Fillingane was selected to speak by HDL, Inc. as part of the advanced laboratory’s commitment to partnering with physicians to move beyond disease diagnosis.

“Physician attitudes require a good understanding of cardiovascular disease,” explained Dr. Fillingane in his presentation. “Cardiovascular disease is the number 1 killer of people in the United States killing more people than the next 4 causes of death combined.

As evidenced in Dr. Fillingane’s presentation, HDL, Inc. is changing the way clinical laboratories interact with physicians and patients in order to dramatically change these statistics in the future. To do this, the professionals at HDL, Inc. partner with clients to provide the most advanced practices for diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular and related chronic diseases. The fully accredited laboratory offers a comprehensive panel of tests to help physicians personalize treatment based on more complete patient profiling. The result – earlier detection of risk factors pre-disposing patients to disease, more advanced evidence-based treatments, and fewer patients progressing to overt disease.
