She offers viewers a practical and balanced analysis of the latest health care news headlines and translates the information into practical tips they can use to take better care of themselves. She is also a Fellow with the University of Minnesota Center for Spirituality & Healing and works collaboratively with the Center to empower consumers to navigate the health care system.
In the public policy arena, she serves as a Senior Fellow with Newt Gingrich's Center for Health Transformation. Dr. Georgiou is a frequently invited speaker at healthcare industry and consumer forums on topics such as health reform, health information technology, and innovative health models. Some of the highlights include being a guest on Oprah and Friends with Dr Mehmet Oz, testifying as an expert witness in Congress and being an annual guest lecturer at the Wharton School of Business. In the Spring 2009, Dr. Georgiou was a medical correspondent on an international expedition with Dan Buettner and the Blue Zones Team to explore the secrets of longevity.
