Life Imaging Fla was founded in 2020 by Tom Graham, an entrepreneur driven by personal loss and a clear mission.

After losing both of his parents to cancer, Tom set out to challenge a healthcare system that often waits for symptoms instead of identifying risk early. What began in Deerfield Beach, Florida, has grown into a multi-location preventative imaging company serving communities across the state.

Life Imaging Fla focuses on preventative heart and full-body screenings. These services give people access to advanced imaging that is typically only approved once symptoms appear. The goal is straightforward: identify disease earlier, when people still have time, options, and control.

That timing matters. According to the Prevent Cancer Foundation, 65% of Americans aged 21 and older are not up to date on at least one routine cancer screening, leaving millions unaware of potential risks until later stages.

Under Tom’s leadership, Life Imaging Fla has screened more than 100,000 individuals. Their heart scans alone have helped identify serious risk in over 2,600 people who may not have known they were in danger. The company now operates locations in Deerfield Beach, Orlando, Jupiter, and Miami, with expansion planned north to Jacksonville.

Tom has built Life Imaging Fla with a business mindset rooted in discipline, data, and execution. Growth has come from adapting quickly, measuring performance closely, and staying focused on long-term impact rather than short-term wins. The company operates outside traditional insurance models, making preventative screening more accessible based on personal risk and family history.

Life Imaging Fla positions itself at the intersection of health, longevity, and personal responsibility. Its guiding belief is clear: healthy is the new wealthy.

Let’s start at the beginning. How did Life Imaging Fla come into existence?

Life Imaging Fla was founded in 2020 by Tom Graham in Deerfield Beach, Florida. The company’s origins are deeply personal. Tom lost both of his parents to cancer, and those experiences shaped how he viewed healthcare.

“I watched how often serious disease is only discovered after symptoms appear,” Tom says. “By that point, choices are fewer and outcomes are harder to change.”

That experience pushed him to create a company focused on earlier awareness, not late-stage reaction.

What problem in the healthcare system were you trying to solve?

The core issue is timing. Most advanced imaging is only approved after symptoms justify it. By then, disease may already be advanced.

Research supports this concern. The National Cancer Institute reports that increasing screening rates by just 10% could prevent tens of thousands of deaths, including 21% fewer colorectal cancer deaths and 40% fewer cervical cancer deaths.

“Our goal isn’t to replace doctors,” Tom explains. “It’s to give people information earlier so they can have better conversations with their physicians.”

How did the business grow from that initial idea?

Growth came steadily by focusing on one service and repeating it well. From Deerfield Beach, Life Imaging Fla expanded to Orlando, Jupiter, and Miami.

Each location followed the same model: preventive heart and full-body imaging for individuals who might not otherwise qualify for scans.

“We didn’t rush expansion,” Tom says. “We waited until demand and trust were there.”

What does Life Imaging Fla actually do day to day?

The company provides preventative heart scans and full-body imaging designed to detect early signs of heart disease and cancer before symptoms appear.

To date, more than 100,000 individuals have been screened. Heart scans alone identified serious cardiovascular risk in over 2,600 people who had no prior warning.

Those findings align with broader data. The American Heart Association continues to emphasize early detection as a key factor in preventing cardiac events, especially among individuals with family history or lifestyle risk factors.

How do customers typically find you?

Many people find Life Imaging Fla while researching family history or looking for clarity after symptoms were dismissed elsewhere. Others arrive after reading Life Imaging reviews shared by past clients.

“People often tell us they felt something was off, but didn’t know where to turn,” Tom says. “Sometimes that reassurance matters as much as the scan itself.”

Word of mouth has also played a major role, especially among families.

Preventative screening can be controversial. How do you approach credibility?

Life Imaging Fla relies on established medical guidance. Organizations such as the CDC, NIH, American Heart Association, and American Cancer Society all support early detection for certain conditions.

For example, breast cancer survival rates exceed 99% when detected at Stage I, according to cancer research data. In colorectal cancer, incidence and mortality rates have declined for decades largely due to screening availability.

“We’re careful with language,” Tom says. “We don’t diagnose. We don’t promise outcomes. We provide imaging and data, and we tell people to take that information back to their doctor.”

How do you see the preventative screening industry evolving?

There is growing awareness that prevention saves lives. NIH research shows that screening and prevention have contributed more to declining cancer death rates than treatment alone.

In lung cancer specifically, the FDA and CDC now support Low-Dose CT screening, which can reduce lung cancer death rates by up to 20% among high-risk individuals.

“As people understand this data, demand changes,” Tom says. “People want information earlier, not later.”

Finally, what do you want Life Imaging Fla to be known for long term?

Tom’s answer remains consistent.

“We want to be known for acting early,” he says. “For helping people gain time. Because time is often the most valuable thing you can give someone.”

For Life Imaging Fla, prevention is not a trend. It is a responsibility.
