What's Hot in Healthcare?
On September 12, 2012, members of the greater Norristown , Pa.,
community gathered together for “What’s Hot in Healthcare? A
Conversation about Prevention, New Treatments and Technology.” The
presentation and dinner, held at Plymouth Country Club, was generously
hosted by Club Secretary and Treasurer, and Lankenau Medical Center
(LMC) donor, James “Skip” Oliver.
This was the second “conversation-style” event in a wildly successful
new series that gives attendees open access to an expert panel. More
than 120 members of the community attended the program, to find answers
to their questions about cardiovascular care, cancer treatments, new
technologies and procedures, disease prevention, and the expansive
Master Facility Project currently underway at Lankenau – which includes
construction of The Heart and Vascular Pavilion, opening summer
2013.
Joseph DiMino, DO, Director of Health/Medical Director, Montgomery
County Health Department, PA, moderated a panel of representatives from
Lankenau including: Dr. Peter Kowey, Chief of Cardiovascular Diseases
for Main Line Health, and holder of the William Wikoff Smith Chair in
Cardiovascular Research; Dr. John Marks, Chief of Colorectal
Surgery, LMC and Main Line Health (MLH); Dr. Marisa Weiss, Director of
Breast Radiation Oncology and Breast Health Outreach, LMC, and founder
of Breastcancer.org; and Phillip Robinson, LMC President.
