America's Vital Signs

In his presentation, Dr. Salgo predicts that the progress in fighting heart disease will have a tremendous impact on our nation's healthcare delivery system and the future of medicine itself. While explaining how current medical breakthroughs will allow today's Americans to live longer than any other generation, he also explores the future of healthcare and how the industry must prepare to serve.

The Future of Modern Medicine

The future is bright for professionals. They will see the reorganization of health care delivery in this country into a form that will give them more control over both their incomes, and the care they deliver. The key to achieving this bright future is to act now to implement a few substantive changes. The millennium will not drift in the right direction. Professionals must guide the future by their direct action and behavior to craft it into the model they desire.

Bio Terrorism: What is it?

Is it a real threat. What do we need to do now to prepare for it. Can it happen in your community?

Healthcare & The New Administration

What the plan actually says. What this means for you and your family. How will it change the healthcare landscape in this country? The future will be decided now. The health and well-being of you and your family will be impacted dramatically.

UNIQUE IDEA: Host a "Second Opinion" Event In Your Community

Invite Dr. Peter Salgo, host of the PBS health series Second Opinion, to develop this program for your next event. He will work with you to select your panel of experts and prepare questions on a range of healthcare topics. Not only will you highlight your "experts," your audience will get the information they need to take charge of their own healthcare. A great evening for showcasing the healthcare expertise you provide the community.
