The philosophy behind SmartCare 35/35 is that, in the long run, preventative care is far less costly than no care at all.  Diabetics are at a much higher risk for stroke, heart disease, kidney disease, eye disease and peripheral artery disease (PAD).  All of these complications are preventable, avoidable or curable, but people must have access to routine medical care in order to detect these problems early.  For many people, a trip to the doctor has become an impossible luxury due to the high cost.  SmartCare 35/35 returns the control of medical care to the patient.  By eliminating the source of over 50% of our overhead, we can offer routine and specialty medical care at prices that will permit virtually everyone to take advantage of them.  We are once again putting medical care within the affordable grasp of everyone.
