XX in Health Week Winners
Congratulations to Nina Hasen and Marcela Maamari, the winners of our survey and the new owners of LARK, the "silent un-alarm clock" sleep sensor.
Thank you for everyone's survey responses. With your input, we have generated this report that has had over 25,000 views.
Our first winner is Nina Hasen, the Senior Lead of HIV Prevention at the Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator. Nina works with all kinds of amazing people internationally in order to ensure increasingly fewer cases of newly contracted HIV. The greatest moment of Nina's career came when she was sitting on the floor of a drop-in center for sex workers in Ethiopia, listening to women talk about their challenges living with HIV. XX in Health is relevant to Nina's life because it "is both innovating in women's health and and innovating for women in health; it's the practice/praxis thing." With such a busy schedule, who would Nina love to pencil in for a coffee date? "Terry Gross, the interviewer on Fresh Air," writes Nina. "I've loved her program for years. She is the embodiment of creating meaning through listening." Thanks, Nina!
Our next winner is Marcela Maamari, the President and Co-Founder of EHR Evolution. Marcela's boutique healthcare IT consulting firm specializes in HIE technologies and EHR implementation and optimization. The greatest moment of her career came with the Founding of EHR Evolution and "building an awesome team of individuals who are deeply committed to our clients and the impact we can have in healthcare IT." XX in Health is relevant to Marcela because it provides an opportunity to meet other women entrepreneurs and hear about their journey. If given the chance, who would Marcela like to grab coffee with? "Hilary Clinton," she writes. It looks like Marcela has found the lady to rival her busy schedule!
