Hey Folks,

First let me apologize. My first failure was one of imagination - I really did not expect this event to get this big. My second failure was to find a bigger spot.

So it may be a little packed, but we will be having this event at the regular location - 350 Hudson Street, 3rd Floor, 6:30 PM. More details here:

If you are running late just give me a call and I will tell you if we still have room. If you don't have my number already you can email me or call the FairCareMD Provider Hotline (954) FAIR CARE and I or one of my associates, will tell you if there is still room.

So what you do if you are still on the Waiting List? I suggest you plan to come. The room and the adjacent space can hold just about all of us, including the waiting list so I doubt we will need to turn anyone away. Also be sure to update your RSVP if you can't come tomorrow.

This will be a great event. See you there!

Finally - Don't miss the after event. I thought we would check out Little Branch - 22 7th Ave S, (between Carmine St & Leroy St).

...and now a message from our Sponsor...

FairCareMD, HelloHealth, Qliance, ePatient Dave, HealthcareBlueBook, Preferred Hospitals, and iMedExchange have teamed up to create a panel for the South by Southwest Music, Film, and Interactive Festival which put out a call for healthcare submissions this year! Health 2.0 is well represented in our panel and others. Go to our Panel and vote for us and the other Health 2.0 panels! More on our panel here.

Why is voting important? Because of the 2,343 panel submissions only about 10% will make presentations. Your vote counts! Thank you for your support!

Have a great day!

Best Regards,
Alex Fair

This group is dedicated to advancing innovations that focus on improving patient care with the active involvement of Patients, Physicians, Nurses, Administrators, Engineers, and even Lawyers. If your interest is in improving the practice and performance of medicine, than this is the meetup for you.

Borne of the Health 2.0 international movement, Eugene Borukovich started the NYC chapter in 2008. Our chapter has since grown to become the largest healthcare innovation focused meetup in the world, running events that focus on specific topics such as the impact of social media in Healthcare or our Startup pitch contest called "Pitch Yourself into the Shark Tank." The investments, partnerships and collaborations that have come from this meetup are myriad, as we purposely foster the genesis, growth and development of innovative technology companies. A few of the companies that have presented: Phreesia, Zweena, ZocDoc, HelloHealth, YourNurseIsOn, DrChrono, ComScore, HealthLeap, MyHealthExperience, Healthrageous, WellApps, and a few dozen others.

Be like me, come with an idea, leave with a company. I run this group as my way of saying thanks for helping my concept get from the drawing board to over 250,000 searches for care and the attention of Patients, Physicians, Hospitals, Employers, and VCs across the country with our new healthcare marketplace.

...but this isn't about me, it is what over 1,250 healthcare innovators can do for healthcare.

Who presents here?

Patients who have defined issues to be addressed and / or designed apps to improve their health and the health of others
Physicians who create innovative care models, develop solutios, or simply are looking for new ways to address the problems they see
Entrepreneurs who create new innovative healthcare solutions
Hospital Executives driving development and adoption of new ideas
Nurses who reinvent nursing management or point of care solutions
Investors, Angels, and VCs looking for the next big thing
Pharma, Insurance, and Diagnostics companies that look for new technologies and companies to work with
Pharmacists who design better medication management, adherence, distribution or other systems
Game Designers who make patient education fun
Quantification companies that help people self-monitor (see also Quantified Self meetup)
Engineers, Programmers, and Hackers that invent and enable new care paradigms
Designers who create popular apps
Innovative government leaders seeking positive change
Reporters and Bloggers who want to see the cutting edge before it happens and spread the word
and so many more amazing people and companies...

Mostly what we have are the leaders of the NYC healthcare innovation scene. By putting us all together in one place, we are creating the future of healthcare.

We are always looking for start-ups and individuals to present the ideas or products they are working on. Please be welcome to join the conversation, propose a topic, or suggest an alternative format. We are a largely user-driven group, so suggest a topic and we will do the most popular event.

We also enable more established companies to get their message out to the healthcare innovation community through sponsorship and speaking. So if there is an event, challenge, or product release you would like to talk about, please contact me.

Thanks for visiting, we hope to see you soon!
