LIFESCAN is a great partner at the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, helping me to protect the health of my Officers. When my Officers are healthier, so is the health and safety of Jacksonville.

To have the opportunity to have something so comprehensive as Life
Scan and to identify problems that officers may not know about and have them treated before they become life threatening… it is just incredible. I am so glad that the City of Tampa has partnered with LIFESCAN to keep all of my officers safe and healthy.

When our administration had brought in LIFESCAN Wellness Center for the first time in 2016 they caught a rare variant of thyroid cancer prior to its spread. This cancer has a very poor 5-year mortality prognosis because as in my case it’s symptom-free until it spreads and there is no conventional Chemo/Radiation for it. By God’s grace and BSO Fire Rescue’s proactiveness to bring in LIFESCAN Wellness Center, I am happy to say that I am still working 5+ years cancer-free.

If I didn’t have good comprehensive medical care and LIFESCAN, very possible I wouldn’t be here anymore. Watch Video
