The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recently released its Final Recommendation Statement on Lipid Disorders in Children and Adolescents: Screening. NLA leadership disagrees with this release and communicated twice to USPSTF about the implications of this statement. The USPSTF has made no acknowledgment of the NLA’s concerns.

The Foundation of the NLA did something a little different this year – instead of hosting a black-tie gala event, we opted for a more casual affair, filled with light bites and vintage arcade games! The evening was full of good conversation, and friendly competition. We appreciate those who made it to our event to support our efforts educating patients on lipid-related health problems. The game night entrees and silent auction donations netted the Foundation $10,400 in just one night!
