Things You’ll Learn:
- Babson Diagnostics' BetterWay Blood Testing service allows for routine and specialty testing from a finger prick sample. It is available at convenient locations like pharmacies and community events, which is ideal for people who are afraid of needles or are busy.
- The service is designed to be affordable, addressing a major barrier for those without insurance or who are underinsured, allowing broader access to vital health information and empowering them with better clinical outcomes.
- The company actively seeks to partner with local businesses, community groups, and healthcare providers, offering diverse locations and extended hours to serve a wide range of people and impact diverse communities.
- Blood testing is very personal, and many have stories, good or bad, and a significant percentage don’t get their doctor-ordered blood testing done unless they have a trigger event.
- Partnering with clinicians is a fundamental human right.
