Applying Social Media for Patients with Rare Diseases

I’m in Houston, TX this morning to present at RARE on the Road, a workshop for patients and caregivers living with rare diseases.

This is the first of three such workshops this summer presented by Global Genes and the Every Life Foundation for Rare Diseases. The next one will be June 30 in Salt Lake City, and the final session July 21 in Nashville.

Here are my slides:

We’re glad the Mayo Clinic Social Media Network can be a resource supporting this worthy cause.

The New Era of Healthcare Communications

I’m delighted to be in Nashville this afternoon to provide the opening keynote at the Health:Further 2016 Summit.

Andre is organizing the event and invited me to kick it off.

Here are the slides for my 25-minute keynote:
