Welcome to our Personal Healthcare Reform group. Please join us and help show support of Personal Health reform by starting a dialogue here that will drive awareness of this important cause.

Healthcare Reform is a hot-button issue right now that is filled with disagreements. But what we all can agree on is that the most important link in the healthcare chain is the patient. To achieve true reform, we must create a “new normal” of Personal Health that shifts the focus from the institution to the individual, from hospital to home, and from population-based care to personalized care.

Our goal is to share information for a new Personal Health vision. A vision that includes intelligent policy reform focused on innovation so that we can quickly adapt to changing trends. In so doing, we should help the U.S. lead the world in 21st century healthcare technologies and services that we may not even be able to imagine completely in this historical moment.

We are proud to call Eric Dishman, Director of Health Innovation and Policy at Intel Corporation, our founding contributor and will be hearing lots from him here. Eric has also started writing a great blog focusing on personal health reform where he can expand on some of the ideas he has in this group. You can find his blog here:

So join our group, read Eric’s blog, become part of the conversation, and take action yourself. This focus on Personal Health is what will achieve the real reform we need.
