280 Living – Birmingham resident Sam Cargo recently shared his experience participating in Catalyst in a feature on Life on 280. In the article, Cargo describes how the program gave him the opportunity to learn more about his personal health, including insights into inherited disease risks and how his body may respond to certain medications.
Through Catalyst’s simple at-home cheek swab and access to genetic counseling, Cargo was able to better understand his results and think more intentionally about his long-term health. His story highlights how Catalyst is helping individuals across Alabama gain valuable health insights and take a more proactive role in their healthcare.
