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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
