• Community Clinics Can Provide Effective Care for Complex Lipid Disorders Such as FCS (rarediseaseadvisor.com) — A specialized lipid clinic based in Mission Viejo showed that complex cholesterol and triglyceride disorders can be effectively managed in a community setting, not just at big academic centers.
