Relentless Health (formerly Diagnose Early) is partnering with the Professional Firefighters Association of South Carolina (PFFASC) to offer at-home PFAS testing
MENLO PARK, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 22, 2024 / Today, Relentless Health (formerly Diagnose Early) shared details about our important partnership with the Professional Firefighters Association of South Carolina (PFFASC). Relentless Health worked closely with the PFFASC to develop our PFAS exposure test. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of chemicals with desirable properties that are used extensively in manufacturing. However, they are increasingly associated with health problems and are of particular concern to firefighters. Our PFAS test uses at-home fingerstick samples, making it much more convenient than traditional PFAS blood draw testing.

Richard Kho, CEO of Relentless Health, said: “We are fully committed to something very important, and that is tackling one of the greatest emerging health threats of our time. Mounting research links persistent chemicals like PFAS and PFOS to a range of health problems, including multiple cancers, immune disorders, reproductive harm and endocrine issues. The first step for anyone who wants to do something about this is to measure and track the levels of PFAS in your body.”
Richard continues, “Today we’re announcing the launch of Relentless Health, with the mission to improve the health and well-being of first responders and others exposed to toxic chemicals in their professional or environmental settings. We look forward to sharing more resources on PFAS and our easy-to-use PFAS test soon!”
“PFAS is one of the biggest concerns in the firefighting community right now,” said Roger Odachowski, president of the PFFASC. “My brothers and sisters are exposed to PFAS every day. It’s been proven to be in our safety gear, in materials used in fires, and in products used for fire suppression. Firefighters are becoming aware of the connection between PFAS and our increased cancer rates. Understanding what PFAS is in our bodies will help us combat this huge health problem.”
The agreement with the PFFASC makes Relentless Health their preferred partner for PFAS testing services. Relentless Health will donate a portion of sales to support the PFFASC Foundation, a nonprofit organization created to help firefighters and their families in South Carolina.
