Why prevention – and why YEARS?
“In acute medicine, every minute counts. It’s about reacting quickly to save lives. In prevention, we finally have the time to think ahead. YEARS gives us the space to structure and design medicine proactively. We collect data, interpret it in context, and translate it into actionable strategies. That’s how true health management is created. Not by chance, but by design.”
What should patients take away from a visit at YEARS?
“Clarity. Health is not a mystery, it’s measurable, influenceable, and manageable. My goal is for patients to understand where they stand and which levers they truly have at their disposal. With that knowledge comes confidence, and the motivation to take action.”
What have you learned from your time in acute medicine that you now apply to prevention?
“That health is never a given. I’ve witnessed many situations where seconds decided between life and death. Those experiences change your perspective. They teach humility, but also determination. Today, I see prevention as an equally essential part of medicine: the same responsibility, but with more time and opportunity. Every examination, every conversation is a chance to act early. Before things become critical.”
