The strategic and lawful destruction of healthcare data may become one of the greatest regrets of our time—a decision that future generations will struggle to understand. 

By the 2040s, advancements in healthcare technology—especially predictive analytics powered by AI—will revolutionize disease prevention. Imagine an AI system capable of detecting patterns in pathology results from your 30s that indicate a potential cancer risk in your 70s. This AI could alert your doctor in time to take preventative action.

But here’s the problem: That critical data might not exist. Due to current policies, medical records are often deleted just a few years after a healthcare provider merges, closes, or transitions systems. This isn’t just an oversight—it’s a preventable loss that could cost lives.

The Stargate Data Center presents an extraordinary opportunity to safeguard healthcare data for the long term. With proper planning, funding, and implementation, we can ensure that both current and future generations have access to their complete health history, unlocking the full potential of today's emerging innovations and future medical breakthroughs.

If we act now, we can secure a lifetime of our healthcare insights. Sign this petition to urge decision-makers to incorporate long-term healthcare data preservation into the Stargate Data Center’s mission.
