Four women in John W. Anderson’s life were diagnosed with breast cancer – his wife, his mother, his sister, and his mom’s best friend. John realized that the experiences he had and the strategies that he developed as a caregiver, which he writes about in his account Stand by Her: A Breast Cancer Guide for Men (selected by The Wall Street Journal as one of the best health books of 2009), would be beneficial to all caregivers facing any life-threatening disease with their loved ones, as well as the medical community treating those patients. And so John, award-winning writer and director, is now sharing his knowledge and expertise with a wide range of audiences, from corporate wellness-program participants, medical associations, hospital staffs, patient advocacy groups, and insurance, pharmaceutical, medical supply and biotech companies. Based on his own traumatic but enlightening experiences, Anderson is currently working with surgeons, oncologists, radiologists and plastic surgeons to create an enhanced caregiver training model for those that have loved ones with breast cancer. John Anderson is a compelling advocate for caregivers everywhere; his personal and emotional journey is one that resonates with all audiences interested in improving health care while lowering costs as well as the millions of people around the globe who have taken on the role of caregiver. Anderson has appeared on a wide variety of national TV and radio programs, including NBC’s Today and CNN’s House Call with Sanjay Gupta. Read more…

One of the most influential political observers in the country, Charles Krauthammer challenges conventional wisdom with practically every word he writes. No matter what the issue, from the economy, bioethics, the Middle East or today’s political headlines, Krauthammer’s insightful commentary cuts through the clutter created by plebeian thinking with an entirely fresh viewpoint. An unapologetic conservative, Krauthammer does more than comment on the issues and policies of the day; he helps shape public–and private–discourse about them. Intellectually fearless, when Krauthammer enters the discussion it takes on a new shape, and he shares with audiences the influential impact his views have on national and world events. Krauthammer earned an MD from Harvard Medical School, and practiced medicine before becoming a speechwriter for Vice President Walter Mondale, and later joined The New Republic as a writer and editor. He writes a nationally syndicated column for The Washington Post and contributes to several other publications, including The Weekly Standard and The New Republic. Read more…
