America's Vital Signs In his presentation, Dr. Salgo predicts that the progress in fighting heart disease will have a tremendous impact on our nation's healthcare delivery system and the future of medicine itself. While explaining how current medical breakthroughs will allow today's Americans to live longer than any other generation, he also explores the future of healthcare and how the industry must prepare to serve. The Future of Healthcare The future is bright for professionals. They will see the reorganization of health care delivery in this country into a form that will give them more control over both their incomes, and the care they deliver. The key to achieving this bright future is to act now to implement a few substantive changes. The millennium will not drift in the right direction. Professionals must guide the future by their direct action and behavior to craft it into the model they desire. September 11: Rising to the Challenge, Living through the Tragedy, and Looking to the Future Salgo will explain what it was like directing the intensive care unit of a New York City hospital during our nation's greatest tragedy. He talks on the importance of communication, information, planning, and responsiveness in dealing with crises and emergencies.
