From Health Scare to Health Care: The Road to Quality Medical Attention

Clinton and Cheney's Recent Heart Problems Highlight the Importance of Access to Best in Class Specialists


LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - March 15, 2010) -  With news of President Clinton and former Vice President Cheney's cardiac problems once again making headlines, it's clear that heart conditions show no partisan bias. Luckily, both men had a team of world-class specialists who know their medical histories and were able to provide immediate care before it was too late. Yet such quality care is not only available to high-powered politicians and other famous people.

"Private Health Management is the 911 and 411 for patients who have received a shattering diagnosis, suffered a catastrophic accident, or are battling a serious ongoing condition and want to ensure that they are receiving the absolute best care," states Leslie Michelson, Chairman and CEO of Private Health Management.

Private Health Management identifies and gains priority access to the world-class specialists, sub-specialists and facilities that are uniquely qualified to treat a patient's specific condition. Its unique in-house resources include physician-researchers who scour the medical literature to identify the most advanced diagnostic techniques, therapies and experts. In addition, Private Health offers physician-driven Personal Care Teams available 24/7/365, to manage all clinical and logistical aspects of medical care, ranging from a serious diagnosis to life-threatening injuries.

Studies have shown that the more experienced the specialist, the better the treatment and recovery. Private Health Management's new model of health care provides a win-win for patients, who have the comfort of knowing they are getting the best care possible, as well as primary care physicians, who gain access to professional resources they are not likely to be able to access normally. In addition, Private Health takes on the critically important role of case coordinator, which few primary care physicians are equipped to manage.

Michelson has drawn from his past experience as the CEO of the Prostate Cancer Foundation to create a care system that answers the growing need for specialized health care and 24-hour service. Michelson makes regular appearances discussing the changing world of medical care. He has spoken at Young Presidents' Organizations around the county and just spoke at the San Diego Yacht Club. He will also be the featured speaker at the Jonathan Club in Los Angeles on April 27.
