Not only do they offer DNA sequencing (similar to what 23andme does) to all their patients (at no cost to the patient), but they actually use this information to custom design treatment programs.

Currently, this puts them way ahead of the competition. I wonder how long it will be before other hospitals follow their lead.

The Most Progressive Health System Is Arguably Geisinger
It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Geisinger
Geisinger is a great hospital. When I lived in Pennsylvania, I went to Danville to the Geisinger Hospital. They are the top of the heap when hospitals are rated. That's my two cents worth. They are owned by a new company from what my friend stated who lives close by. She knows Geisinger is one of the best hospitals. I miss that wonderful hospital.
