Press Release<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Genome<\/em> Magazine Announces Partnership with Medical Fitness Network to Provide Fitness and Allied Healthcare Provider Resource<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"genome-issue\"<\/a>(February 9, 2016) Plano, TX.<\/strong> \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Genome<\/em> magazine has partnered with the Medical Fitness Network (MFN) \u2013 a national referral service for those with a chronic illness or who are pre\/postnatal \u2013 to connect its readers to the fitness or allied healthcare professional who will best fit their needs. The MFN strives to\u00a0improve the quality of life for those with chronic medical conditions by connecting them to qualified\u00a0fitness and healthcare providers, bringing a holistic approach to the care of chronic illnesses.<\/p>\n

Since its launch in April 2014,\u00a0Genome<\/em>\u00a0has garnered high praise for its ability to convey complex scientific information in a welcoming and accessible manner. Genome<\/em>\u00a0acts as an information bridge, bringing relevant insight and knowledge to patients, families, and caregivers on every aspect of personalized medicine so that they may be better equipped to have meaningful discussions with their healthcare teams. \u201cWhen patients fully understand how personalized medicine can transform the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a variety of conditions, they will be able to advocate for the targeted treatment they deserve,\u201d said\u00a0Susan McClure, publisher of\u00a0Genome<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Education and awareness are key elements in the fight against debilitating disease. While doctors often prescribe diet and exercise as an extension of their treatment, the patient is often left to their own devices to determine how best to fill these doctor\u2019s orders. The patient can search online for diet plans and providers, but it can be a daunting task to find the right solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a cancer survivor, I am all too familiar with the overwhelming \u2018loss of self\u2019 that can occur as a result of grueling medical treatments,\u201d said McClure. \u201cWhat the MFN provides is an opportunity for people to improve their wellbeing despite their diagnosis through diet, exercise, and rehabilitation programs that are tailored just for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Genome<\/em> helps consumers make informed health decisions by providing a resource for education, and the MFN provides specialized fitness and healthcare providers who have training in the treatment of medical conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team at the Medical Fitness Network strives to connect the community to qualified health and fitness professionals to maximize wellness and quality of life,\u201d said MFN founder Lisa Dougherty. \u201cWe\u2019re dedicated to improving the quality of life for those with chronic illness, and are thrilled to partner with the well respected Genome<\/em> magazine to help support those in need of medical health alternatives.\u201d\\<\/p>\n
