areas to specialty medicine. The medical review board functions under the direction of

our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Adam C. Husney and works in collaboration with our in-

house medical director, Dr. Kathleen Romito.

Reviewers are an integral part of ensuring the medical accuracy and consistency of Healthwise content. They share the Healthwise commitment to empowering patients with reliable health information and building strong patient-provider relationships. In addition to the regular and routine review of Healthwise content, they advise on and provide input to the product and content development of Healthwise products and solutions.
