Innovators in Health Care Meeting at HealthCamp Florida on July 30, 2011

The inaugural meeting of HealthCamp Florida will be held in Tampa, Florida on July 30, 2011. It will be held on Saturday, July 30 at Kforce in Tampa (1001 E. Palm Ave., Tampa, FL 33605). This is the inaugural event for HealthCamp Florida and the theme is ‘The remarkable innovations that are transforming healthcare.’ The focus will be on technology, policy and process areas and it is expected that these three areas will help to cross-pollinate thoughts, speakers and attendees and inform the discussions.

HealthCamps have been held in a number of other cities, including Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco and other locations. HealthCamp will be similar to a BarCamp type of unconference but the attendees and speakers will represent a wide variety of people, industries and advocates focused around health care topics. These events have become popular because they involve interesting, high-energy people talking about interesting things.

One of the goals of HealthCamp Florida is to raise awareness of the remarkable innovators and innovations available right here in Florida. The event will bring together interesting people who might otherwise not meet at their own individual industry meetings. This will allow them to share, collaborate, learn and inspire. Some of the extraordinary innovators who are on the cutting edge of health care innovation have committed to attending the event and speaking. They will cover topics ranging from a new non-invasive medical device that provides more accurate predictions of heart risk, to iPhone and iPad apps for health care, to a neural communications device to help the brain communicate with prosthetic limbs, and to a new way to manage patient data and more. The website is www.healthcampflorida.org.

About HealthCamp Florida: HealthCamp Florida is part of the HealthCamp group of events and is designed to look at innovations in HealthCare in general and, focus on people, companies and innovations in Florida.

Florida Surgeon Describes the Three Most Dangerous Trends in Cosmetic Gynecology

“The vagina is a very complex organ, with complex nerves and muscles,” observes Dr. Mark Scheinberg, a Florida cosmetic gynecologist. “Cosmetic gynecology is a fast growing profession, so, patients need to protect themselves by doing their research about which procedure they need and which practitioner they select.”

There are three dangerous trends in cosmetic gynecology today:

• One Size Fits All

– There are surgeons who perform a florida labiaplasty or vaginal rejuvenation only one way. But, removing too much skin could result in an unnatural appearance, which many patients dislike.
– Every patient’s body is different and each patient desires different results.

• High Volume/Low Cost

– Many surgeons advertise a wide variety of procedures, but this can mean the doctor doesn’t take the time to produce good results.
– A low cost may mean that the doctor is skipping some important steps.
– Be careful when it comes to your private areas.

• One-stop shop

– Some plastic surgeons will offer vaginal rejuvenation and labiaplasty alongside face lifts, breast enhancement, Botox, and other procedures.
– But, these generalists often don’t have much training in such specialized procedures.

When choosing a cosmetic gynecologist, look for the following:

• Experience: How many surgical, gynecological, and cosmetic gynecological procedures has the doctor performed? How long have they been practicing and what is their reputation?

• Advanced training: Look for specific vaginal rejuvenation training – especially advanced training with leaders in the field.

• Multiple methods: Look for a specialist who will design a procedure specifically for you, using a variety of methods and techniques.

• Photos: Check the Web site’s picture gallery and evaluate the quality of the doctor’s work.

•Testimonials: Find out what the doctor’s patients and colleagues are saying.
