Emerging Health Threats to be Explored at MEDICAL WORLD AMERICAS 2015

December 23, 2014 By AxoGen, Inc.

Even though TIME magazine named “the Ebola fighters” as the 2014 Person of the Year, the Ebola outbreak proved the health care community has work to do. At the MEDICAL WORLD AMERICAS (MWA) 2015 conference and expo, industry leaders will collaboratively discuss this and other pressing health care challenges, lessons learned and breakthrough innovations they can implement immediately.

As TIME says in the announcement, “This was a test of the world’s ability to respond to potential pandemics, and it did not go well.”

Now it is more important than ever for health care professionals to work together to protect the health of our communities and country. Leading experts will convene at MWA from April 27-29 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston to explore innovations in health care through three plenary sessions.

“MWA 2015 is convening experts who are on the front line of transforming how we practice medicine,” said Robert Robbins, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Texas Medical Center and Chairman of the MWA Executive Committee. “From the man who led the response to the Ebola outbreak in Texas, to the doctor who performed the first surgery using Google Glass, this forum will share practical and exciting breakthroughs in how we care for patients.”

Conference participants will be the first to learn about the results of a landmark survey that explores what patients are seeking in their health care experience in 2015 and beyond. Tim Garson, M.D., M.P.H., of Texas Medical Center, will provide insights into the broader implications of these findings and how health care practitioners can address them.

As part of MWA, participants will also experience a comprehensive view of the future of the industry through an expansive showcase which includes hundreds of state-of-the-art medical devices, technologies, products and services. In addition, at least nine physician and nursing sessions will offer continuing education credits for attendees.

MWA launched last year as a unique collaboration between the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau (GHCVB), Germany-based Messe Duesseldorf, the Texas Medical Center and Houston First Corp. The inaugural session brought together a diverse group of over 2,000 medical professionals from 33 countries, including the U.S.
