Yes... "All One Family" is a great concept. It is so important to educate the benefits of Medical Tourism to the public at large. Just for illustration...
There is a vast blue ocean out there right now filled with lots and lots of islands. Some of the islands are interconnecting ...some are not. We as an industry are taking FAMs to the places of interest and setting up connections. Many are sharing this information back ... To really breakthrough we need to educate and then educate some more and all the time building strong networks ... bridges for others to followon. The educating is for the public and getting the word out that Medical Tourism is the new wave of change where people extend beyond their boundaries and seek out the 5-Star service. An experience of a lifetime where their wellbeing is being helped and enhanced !

Dear Mr. Schafer,
if we could have for instance the MTA contact Fox News so that our industry could be portrayed in a Fox News health segment (with Dr Manny e.g.) this would have a great impact on the public`s awareness, it would contribute to the overall interest in medical tourism, and would diminish the fear of Americans to travel abroad for medical procedures. Once such a segment is being broadcasted, a link (to MTA for instance, or to Medical Tourism city) is then added to the Fox Health news webpage.
Best regards,
