Using Precision Medicine or "PGX" for Wellness Programs: A Conversation with Mark Smith, Founder of Avalon Behavioral Health Solutions

Mark Smith founded Avalon Behavioral Health Solutions several years ago to help people and companies avoid trial and error when it comes to finding the right pharmaceutical. Avalon uses "pharmacogenomics" or PGX, which is a genetic test that can help identify which drugs will be most effective for an individual based on their genetic predispositions. By understanding an individual's genetic make up, prescribers can prescribe the drugs that will actually work for an individual and avoid prescribing the ones that won't. This saves time and money for patients and purchasers of health care. Why wouldn't a workplace wellness program want PGX as part of the program? If employees are taking prescription medications that are not helping them, then knowing which ones would help them will increase their wellbeing.
