Robin Strongin’s Health in Place

Before you read on, I’d like to take this opportunity to invite you to our annual holiday event, Health In Place™.

Tuesday, December 6, 2011, 5:00–7:00 PM
Location: Pose Ultralounge & Nightclub, at the Gaylord Hotel in National Harbor in Washington, DC.

The concept of Health In Place™ is built around the idea that our homes are more than just homes, our offices are more than just workplaces, our schools are more than just places of learning, and even our cars are more than just modes of transportation.

Thanks to wireless communications and emerging technologies, each of these venues has become potential health and wellness centers or HIP. No matter where we are or what we’re doing, we can be protecting and enhancing our well-being.

For this facet of 21st century health care to achieve its full potential—for more Americans to have the tools to link to their caregivers, to protect against and manage illness, while monitoring their well-being—a number of public policy issues are involved, cutting across multiple disciplines from health care regulations and benefit structures to tax policy to technology incentives.

That’s why my firm, Amplify Public Affairs, and the Disruptive Women in Health Care® blog (along with our media partner, The Hill), have formed the Health In Place™ Initiative—to bring together policymakers and change agents from multiple industries. Please join us as we unveil this new initiative.

Speakers include:

  • Robin Strongin, President & CEO, Amplify Public Affairs & Creator, Disruptive Women in Health Care—Moderator
  • John Marttila, President, Marttila Strategies (a national polling expert)
  • John C. (Jack) Lewin, MD, Chief Executive Officer, American College of Cardiology
  • Pamela Cipriano, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, Professor, University of Virginia School of Nursing, Editor-in-Chief, American Nurse Today, 2010-11 Institute of Medicine Nurse Scholar-In-Residence (and a Disruptive Woman blogger)
  • Halle Tecco, Founder & Managing Director of Rock Health (and a Disruptive Woman blogger)
