Madeleine Biondollilo – Video Business Card

Transcript

Hi everybody. I’m Dr. Madeleine Biondollilo. I’m delighted to be part of Doctorpedia and bringing to you some important things that we think will make a difference in your life. My background is, I’m a primary care doctor. I ran a practice in the Harvard system in Boston for many years, providing care to adults and the geriatric population. So I have a lot of interest in the prevention of chronic illness and particularly how to help older patients, patients with complex conditions, stay as healthy as they possibly can so that they are people and not patients. I also had the wonderful experience of being an Associate Commissioner for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. And in that capacity, I did a lot of policy-making, particularly around the Affordable Care Act. But very importantly, I was the hospital and healthcare quality regulator in Massachusetts for four years.

I’m happy to say that healthcare in Massachusetts is extremely high quality, as it is across our country in large measure. That being said, the best we can do for each of ourselves to keep as healthy as possible and our patients as healthy as possible so that they remain people and don’t end up being patients, the better off we all are. So there’s a lot of work being done in important areas around healthy aging. And we’re really excited at Doctorpedia to bring to you the newest research in areas like precision nutrition, so that you can keep abreast of exciting changes that you need to be aware of, to keep yourself as healthy as possible, to make sure that all the people in your family, your friends, your community have as healthy an aging process as is possible.
