Thinking deeply about health care innovation. Marketing @ Fern Health. Changing the conversation around pain. Tweets are own opinion. RT ≠ endorsements.

Today, @_ACHP's @CeciConnolly spoke at the #MageeSummit:
"Telehealth is not a new type of medicine; it is a new tool in the physician's black bag. It should be an option... always with the goal of getting the right care at the right time in the right place for the right price."

[Ginny Whitman @GinWhitman]

"With the #COVID vaccine, public health has transformed from the primary responsibility of clinicians to the responsibility of grandmothers, aunts, mothers and to community members" - Father Paul Abernathy. #MageeSummit
