Resources
D3 is one part of taking care of the people you love. These resources are the rest — registries to join, screenings worth getting, places to put your name. None are required to use D3, but each is worth fifteen minutes of an afternoon.
Give your body to good use
Decisions that don't cost a dollar and can save someone else's life.
Organ donor registry
Sign up so your DMV record reflects your wishes. Each registration can save up to eight lives.
National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP / Be The Match)
A simple cheek swab puts you in the registry. Especially needed for patients of color and mixed-race patients.
Whole-body donation
Donate your body to medical education or research. Most programs cover transport and final disposition.
Blood donation
One donation can help up to three people. Lookup a center near you through the American Red Cross.
Screenings worth scheduling
Most are quick, many are covered by insurance, all are easier than the alternative.
Annual physical & blood panel
Baseline labs catch cholesterol, sugar, kidney, and liver issues before they become emergencies. Required for most life-insurance underwriting too.
Coronary calcium score (CT heart scan)
Twenty minutes, no contrast dye, ~$100 cash-pay at many centers. One of the best early-warning screens for coronary disease.
Colorectal cancer screening (age 45+)
Colonoscopy every ten years, or a stool-DNA test (Cologuard) every three. Catches the most preventable cancer early.
Skin cancer / mole check
Annual full-body scan by a dermatologist, especially if you've ever lived in a sunny state.
Vision exam
Glaucoma and macular degeneration are silent. Every two years before 50, every year after.
Hearing test
