Former White House Advisor Joins PriceDoc Board of Directors
Seattle-based website introduces Dr. Jonathan Javitt and Dr. Peter Newton as its two newest board members
Seattle, WA., June 9, 2009 – Dr. Jonathan Javitt, former senior medical advisor to Presidents Clinton and Bush, and Dr. Peter Newton, a renowned orthopedic surgeon, have been elected to the Board of Directors for PriceDoc (http://www.pricedoc.com/), a new Seattle-based company that brings cash-paying patients together with healthcare providers who offer the services they need.
“We are thrilled to have Dr. Javitt and Dr. Newton join the PriceDoc team,” says William Chadwick, CEO of PriceDoc. “Their background and expertise in the medical and technology fields will be immensely important in furthering our mission of helping people find quality healthcare at an affordable price.”
Dr. Javitt, currently an adjunct professor of ophthalmology at Johns Hopkins University, served as assistant to the Chairman of the Health Professionals Review Group of the White House Health Reform Task Force under President Clinton and in 2003 was appointed by President Bush to the President’s Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC). PITAC’s report, Revolutionizing Health Care Through Information Technology has served as a blueprint for the government’s current focus on computerizing the nation’s healthcare infrastructure.
Dr. Newton is a winner of the prestigious Cabaud Memorial Award, which recognizes outstanding contributions in the field of sports medicine. Newton currently practices in Beverly Hills, CA and is a specialist for disorders of the shoulder, knee and sports medicine injuries.
“Dr. Javitt and Dr. Newton are highly thought of in their respective fields and their perspectives will be very helpful as PriceDoc continues to grow,” says Chadwick. “The concept of bringing patients and doctors together online is still relatively new, but adding two doctors of such high caliber to our team helps show how promising that concept is.”
The Puget Sound area is the first region where PriceDoc is being offered, with planned expansion to California in 2010.
