[Colorado Preventive Medicine-Denver Colorado-Dr. Richard Abrams In 2006, after practicing internal medicine for over 30 years, Dr. Richard Abrams founded Colorado Preventive Medicine (CPM) to pioneer a new model for preventive health care. Noting that traditional health care is primarily reactive and personal, Dr. Abrams established a state-of-the-art center that was proactive and collaborative. The mission was simple – identify health risks and modify them; diagnose disease before symptoms appear when cure is possible; teach optimal health habits; and provide peace of mind. From the day CPM opened the response from patients was overwhelmingly positive. They felt relieved that they had taken advantage of the best screening that modern medicine can provide, pleased that they finally understood any health conditions or risks they faced, and empowered to play an active role in their continued good health.]
