Medicine & The Media: The Future

Will television be the leading media of medical information in the future? With changes in healthcare occurring so rapidly, what lies ahead for individuals, providers, corporations and associations in the healthcare industry? Invite medical correspondent Dr. Gomez, respected medical journalist for over 25 years, to present his valuable insights and cutting-edge reporting on current breaking healthcare news. It's the only way to make informed decisions!

Alzheimer's: The Complete Picture

"When my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, it didn't come as a complete surprise. My PhD in neuroscience, many years as a medical journalist and experience moderating panels on Alzheimer's prepared me for the clinical diagnosis. What I wasn't entirely prepared for, was trading places with him. Here's a man I've loved all my life who taught me to play baseball, stand up for what I believed in and wear my Sunday best, even on Saturday. And now, here's a man I still love, but he needs me to get him in the shower, make sure he eats things other than chocolate milk shakes and plays nice with his friends. Alzheimer's isn't just about the science. It's about patience, understanding and love when they need it most. It's about adjusting our perspective, accepting and even embracing the changes we see in them."

Dr. Max is uniquely positioned to offer insight and advice from a medical and personal point of view. Depending on your audience, the primary focus of his talk can lean toward the clinical aspects or the more personal aspects of Alzheimer's disease.

Attacking Heart Health Before It Attacks You!

In his information packed presentation, Dr. Gomez outlines the gender differences of the heart with a focus on the signs and symptoms of an attack. His plan of action for heart health highlights prevention and awareness.
*As a special note, his moderating skills and healthcare background support a unique program design that may feature local physicians in a panel discussion addressing each community's specific issues.

Focus on Females: An Update On Women's Health

As a medical reporter who has covered all aspects (prevention, diagnosis, treatment) of heart disease, breast cancer, osteoporosis, infertility and other women's health issues, Dr. Max alerts women to the state-of-the-art information on women's health issues. Providing current and future trends in women's health offers women the opportunity to make better informed healthcare decisions.

Protecting Yourself From Prostate Cancer: What Every Man Needs To Know

Too many men view prostate cancer as a "guy thing" that's not to be addressed. Dr. Max Gomez, whose grandfather died of prostate cancer, offers timely advice on preventing and controlling the most prevalent health problem for men. With as many as eight out of ten men likely to have enlarged prostates in their lifetimes, Gomez offers holistic advice on prevention, including nutrition tips.
