“We are always seeking new ways to innovate and improve access to cutting-edge diagnostics for our patients so we can help them better manage their health conditions, including diabetes which impacts nearly 66,000 OSF patients,” Mark Meeker, DO, vice president of Community Medicine for OSF HealthCare, said in the news release. “Working with Digital Diagnostics allows us to offer an expanded set of services to our patients while empowering our clinicians to help their patients decrease disease progression through prevention, not just through treatment.”
