Rosenberg recruited Ken Morris, chief medical officer at North County Health Services, and Dr. Jennifer Tuteur, then medical director of Comprehensive Health Center, to roll out the program to a wider audience.

Today, there are more than 500 patients on the ALL program (named for the three drugs aspirin, lovastatin, and lisinopril) with 99 percent of them staying on the drugs and maintaining their health. “It’s a phenomenal record,” says Tuteur.

Watch as medical director Winston Wong and Dr. Tuteur detail the impact of the ALL protocol.

But that doesn’t mean the solutions need to be.

A simple treatment involving only three medications is helping people with diabetes reduce their risk of heart attack, stroke, and blindness. Doctors with Kaiser Permanente found that treating them with ALL (short for aspirin, lovastatin, and lisinopril) reduces the chances of a heart attack by more than 50 percent.

"We tell our patients, 'This will save your lives,'" says Jennifer Tuteur, MD, who oversees the care of 1,600 patients with diabetes.

Learn how Dr. Tuteur and others are using ALL to give patients a better chance at healthier lives.
