Midwest Health Foundation is a non-profit entity dedicated to educating the medical community and public on digestive health and liver disease.
The foundation’s programs include seminars for patients as well as for continuing medical education (CME) credits. The foundation hopes to partner with area specialists, medical schools, treatment facilities, physician organizations and others on a variety of educational programs.
The foundation’s mission is helping primary care physicians and the public better understand the importance of screening for preventable diseases, such as Barrett’s esophagus, colorectal cancer and liver disease.
Life-saving screening tests include a number of new technology options that may be more appropriate for some patients than others. These include capsule endoscopy or PillCam™ – a pill-size capsule with a tiny embedded camera that snaps pictures of the esophagus and small bowel as it passes through the digestive system — which can be administered in less time with no sedation.
