We want to help our patients be more informed about their health," said James Madara, MD, Chief Executive Officer for the University of Chicago Medical Center. "Participation in realhealth.TV enhances our ability to offer online video education, providing a whole new avenue for our physicians to help people, especially newly diagnosed patients, understand the course and treatment of specific diseases."
