Sequenced

On this episode of Sequenced, we talk to Katherine Wilemon, founder and CEO of the FH Foundation, and Dr. Jill Hagenkord, Color’s Chief Medical Officer, about Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH), an inherited high cholesterol disorder. Katherine and Dr. Hagenkord discuss what differentiates FH from garden variety high cholesterol, why FH is underdiagnosed in the U.S., and how an FH diagnosis can impact an individual’s family members. The FH Foundation is a patient-centered nonprofit organization dedicated to research, advocacy, and education of Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH). Their mission is to raise awareness and save lives by increasing the rate of early diagnosis and encouraging proactive treatment.
