Dear Colleagues,
This has been a season of thought provoking conferences! I was happy to meet up with many inspiring leaders in the longevity marketplace during last month's LeadingAge Annual Meeting & Expo in San Diego.
If you are ready for a high energy networking event where real deals happen between investors, policy makers, corporate leaders, and entrepreneurs then
our upcoming 2nd Annual
Washington Innovation in Longevity Summit
is for you!
One of our speakers this year is Sean Kelly, President & CEO of Kendal, and we recently sat down with him to learn more about the culture of Kendal Communities. Read more about this conversation in our latest blog post.
Take a look at the Summit
agenda and register today if you are ready to hear from more than 60 leaders in the longevity market about the latest trends and innovations in
Mobility, Money, Memory, Military, and Media.
Looking forward to seeing you next month!
Warmly,

myDoctorChannel Helps Meet Seniors' Care Needs
myFamilyChannel is already impacting the lives of seniors with its social and communication platform. Now, the company has a new platform, myDoctorChannel, that expands the use of its technology to serve users' health care needs while gathering data and securely connecting seniors with physicians, family and insurers.
"There are many quality measures that need to be met and physicians have trouble gathering that data at point of care," said myFamilyChannel Chief Medical Officer Dr. Praveen Arla, citing things like depression and falls screenings or incontinence measures.
"We make it fun and engaging. And once the data is collected, the ultimate goal is to get it back to the physician or health plan - wherever it needs to go."
