The Cancer Research Collaboration and Breastlink New York Partner With Diabetes Prevention Program Provider Blue Mesa Health

NEW YORK, March 15, 2018 -- The Cancer Research Collaboration (CRC), a non-profit organization dedicated to expanding the availability of cutting-edge cancer research, and Breastlink New York, a leader in breast care that provides complete and total care to all of its patients (from initial screening to the successful completion of treatment), which is a division of RadNet, Inc. (Nasdaq:RDNT), a national market leader providing high-quality, cost-effective diagnostic imaging services through a network of fully-owned and operated outpatient imaging centers, are proud to work in conjunction with Blue Mesa Health’s Transform program.

Founded in 2015, Blue Mesa Health has designed and commercialized diabetes prevention programs, Transform and Transformemos, which are based on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) landmark National Diabetes Prevention Program. Transform and Transformemos are year-long lifestyle change programs that include remote certified health coaching, a peer support group, online education and connected hardware (bathroom scales and activity trackers) all integrated in a smartphone app.

Dr. Alison Estabrook of Breastlink New York said, “during the last three decades, a growing number of studies appear to show that maintaining a healthy weight and being physically active offer additional improvements in breast cancer survival beyond surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.”

The Transform program will be provided, free of charge, to Breastlink New York patients who are at risk or cancer survivors who meet the program criteria. The goal of the program is to assist patients over 52 weeks to achieve 5-7% weight loss and 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week. These are important goals for at-risk patients and breast cancer survivors as maintaining a healthy BMI can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer, the risk of recurrence in survivors and the incidence of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes.
