Event heralds strength in healthcare communications
9/14/2008

More than 120 attendees enjoyed a lively and informative discussion and debate about one of Northeast Ohio's strengths: healthcare communications. Because of the preponderance of healthcare institutions in Northeast Ohio, PRSA felt that the subject was deserving of some focused attention. The discussion focused on the current and future state of healthcare, and healthcare communications, and even the presidential race. The even was held at the Holiday Inn in Independence, and was built into part of PRSA's ongoing Business & the Media series, designed to bring communications professionals together wiith members of the media.

Panelists included:

• Tracy Wheeler, health and medicine reporter, Akron Beacon Journal
• Julie Miller, editor-in-chjief, Managed Healthcare Executive
• Mary Vanac, staff writer, The Cleveland Plain Dealer
• Howard Fenci, assistant news director, WKYC-TV
• Chris Thompson, moderator, Fund for our Economic Future

The event was hosted by PRSA, as well as IABC, the Akron Press Club, and the Cleveland Press Club.

The event was sponsored by Business Wire, Eaton Corporation, and Liggett Stashower.
