New Medical Tourism Blog: The Bridge
BridgeHealth International, Inc., a medical travel and tourism company based in Denver, Colorado, has a new blog, one for which I have high hopes. Well, I should — I’m the moderator, and I spent a fair amount of time getting it up and running, and writing for it, in the last month.
The blog, called The Bridge, (catchy, huh?) is at:
www.bridgehealthinternational.com/blog
It isn’t officially launched, but it might as well be. We’ve taken the password protection off. There will be a news release on it in the next few days.
I probably will continue to write about medical tourism hereabouts, but it’s nice to have other outlets for the kind of reporting and writing about the subject that I think is important. BridgeHealth wants very much to be associated with authoritative, factual information about medical travel and the people who run it are fans of Beauty from Afar, so it works out well for both of us. When people have questions about medical travel for which I’d prefer to get first-hand answers from medical professionals or people on the ground in medical tourism destination countries, I can get the information I want from people who are in the front lines.
In this part-time venture, I’m happy to be somewhat reunited with Stephanie Sulger, another medical tourism pioneer and the founder of Medical Tours International. Stephanie was in Beauty from Afar and her company is now part of BridgeHealth. I picked a few winners in my book and she was one of them.
I know some people subscribe to my blog principally to see what I have to say about medical tourism, and I hope those folks will go take a look at The Bridge, perhaps specifically at:
Imagining Medical Travel’s Future
Medical Tourism and the Falling Dollar
and
Medical Travel: Fast Times, FastCompany …
all of which might have been written for this site but are better placed where they are, to help healthcare consumers.
I also continue to manage the Prisma Dental blog for my Costa Rican dentists, who are as busy as ever.
