ICmed Family Health Matters Podcast ICmed

Dr. Miriam Alexander is a nationally recognized expert on preventive medicine. In this episode, she discusses why most people don't get much benefit from their annual medical exams and explains how you can approach you and your family's health more proactively.

Dr. Alexander has more than 25 years experience as an occupational medicine physician, and has overseen employee health for tens of thousands of employees at organizations including Bethlehem Steel, McCormick & Co., and the Yale New Haven Health System.

In our inaugural episode, we speak with Jan Oldenburg, a national expert on patient engagement and digital health. Jan shares her personal story about dealing with her husband's unexpected hospitalization and how that propelled her to be an advocate for patient empowerment.
