    Love to connect as I used to do some Medicare reimbursement work for Bon Secours and now teamed with former hollywood producer husband. See our video on reimbursement issue — best way to reach docs. We also do plenty of general health and wellness video under “Rego Digital Studio.”

    There is so much to be done when comes to healthcare and social media, it is interesting to see how people and organizations adapt to new environments. A big challenge with social media and social networking health-related is to keep the privacy, people are willing to share a bit more everyday but they do not want to share with everyone. Definitely Nick has a lot of knowledge of how to connect people and keep the privacy at the same time.

    Hi there Nick! This is Mia (from the Centra days).

    Just wanted to let you know that I have made it back to VA and I am intrigued by your ability to tie healthcare to the 21st century as it relates to leveraging social media.

    I am starting to rebuild my VA healthcare connections, I was advised to look you up and check out your website and blogs. Very good reads.

    We should chat sometime soon!
