Leading Indiana Physicians Offer Navigenics Personalized Health Program

Indianapolis, IN - July 14, 2011 -- Priority Physicians, Indiana's leading 
provider of concierge medical care, today announced it will become the first 
provider in the state to offer Navigenics(R) personalized genetic analysis to 
their patients. 

Navigenics' personalized health program provides people with insight into their 
individual genetic predisposition for developing certain medical conditions such 
as cancers, cardiac disease, and Type 2 diabetes. It also includes a 
pharmacogenomic panel that helps physicians to better understand the potential 
effectiveness and side effects that certain drugs will have for their patients.

"This is the next natural step in our commitment to deliver a truly personalized 
healthcare experience for our patients," said Dr. Matt Priddy of Priority 
Physicians. "There is no other practice in the state that offers the opportunity 
to integrate uniquely personal genetic information into a preventive care plan 
that is distinct for each individual patient. We're impressed by the potential 
that Navigenics brings to further improve our patient outcomes, and are proud to 
be on the cutting-edge of applying

personalized medicine in Indiana."

With clinical collaborators such as Scripps Genomic Medicine and Duke Medicine, 
Navigenics is focused on conditions where primary or secondary prevention could 
improve health outcomes. "By working with their personal Priority Physicians' 
doctor and supported by Navigenics' board-certified genetic counselors, our goal 
is to provide patients of Priority Physicians with a truly unique tool for 
personal wellness. With their patients' genetic information, Priority Physicians 
will be better able to personalize health strategies and motivate patients to 
make lifestyle changes that will help mitigate their personal health risks," 
said Robert Forbes, Head of Physician Services at Navigenics.
