Prescription for Recipes
Summer barbecues and family gatherings are a great time to try new recipes for healthy aging such as vegetarian burgers using sweet potatoes, a meal created by chefs from the Culinary Institute of America at the annual Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives™ meeting in Napa Valley, CA. Organized to encourage physicians to prescribe food instead of drugs, this event is the brainchild of foodie Dr. David Eisenberg @ Harvard's School of Public Health. Register now.

The Patient Experience: Who's listening?
Don't ignore those hospital surveys; your opinion matters, and hospital CEOs are listening. This year, the Department of HHS ties hospital reimbursement for Medicare to the quality of the patient experience and patient satisfaction surveys. Among the leaders helping hospital CEOs improve the patient experience is friend Dr. Ananth Raman who shared insights over dinner recently from his publication, Health Care's Service Fanatics.
