MOVING AWAY FROM REACTIVE CARE 

Traditional healthcare tells patients that their labs are “fine” or “normal”. 

The healthcare system doesn’t provide treatment until it’s too late, it waits for disaster to appear, then reacts.  Patients are often told they're "fine" or “normal”  based on basic labs or rushed checkups, even when silent threats are building.

Are you missing warning signs that could have been detected earlier?

The problem is, “fine” or “normal” doesn’t prevent heart attacks… nearly 2,000 people die of heart disease in the U.S. every day. That’s one life lost every 43 seconds. And almost all of those deaths are preventable.


At HealthspanMD, we believe no one should die of a heart attack. Ever. And that is our mission. Don’t let this be your fate, your future is in your control more than you think.

CONDITIONS WE TREAT

Now, You Can Prevent Problems Before They Arise.

Artery Disease/High Coronary Artery Calcium Score

Artery Disease/High Coronary Artery Calcium Score

A high calcium score means plaque is building up in your arteries—often with no symptoms. We identify risk early and create a precision plan to stop and even reverse progression.
