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!

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.

Alzheimer's: The Complete Picture

Dr. Max uses both his extensive experience as a medical journalist and as a moderator for multiple panels on Alzheimer's to share the most recent advances in the diagnoses and treatment of the disease. But Dr. Max is also uniquely positioned to offer insight and advice from a personal point of view; he has first-hand experience with his own dad who suffers from Alzheimer's. "It's not just about the science." says Dr. Max. "It's watching your family member change right before your eyes. It's about patience, understanding and love when they need it most." How well family members adjust and interact with the person with Alzheimer's can have a tremendous impact on the quality of life for all involved. Dr. Max will share his own tender and touching moments with his dad and even glimpses of humor as he learns to adjust as his father changes. Depending on your audience, the primary focus of his talk can lean toward the clinical and research aspects or the more personal side. It's a unique blend of science and personal experience from a journalist, neuroscientist and Alzheimer's caregiver.

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.
