Cincinnati - The Health Improvement Collaborative of Greater Cincinnati will host its sixth annual Celebration of Collaborative Leadership on Thursday, November 13 at the Hyatt Reg
ency Cincinnati. The event, which will begin at 5:45 pm, will feature keynote speaker Bob Arnot, MD. Dr. Arnot is anchor of the hit television show Dr. Danger (INHD), now in its third season, in addition to anchoring CNBC's new Google Health Series.
One of the most recognized names in the medical and health professions, Dr. Arnot was formerly chief medical editor and special foreign correspondent for NBC News. His reporting has covered breaking stories ranging from weight loss to cancer to epidemic and pandemic disease crises, to the front lines of all major foreign developments, including the War on Terror and the harrowing civil unrest in Sudan’s Darfur region.
Prior to joining NBC in December 1996, Dr. Arnot was a health correspondent for the CBS Evening News and CBS This Morning. He also is a veteran foreign correspondent, having covered the Gulf War, the Rwandan genocide, and the civil wars in Burundi, the Congo, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Mozambique, Uganda, and Kosovo. He has covered epidemic diseases from ebola in Central Africa to AIDS in Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Malawi, to cholera in Bangladesh, Somalia, and Turkey. Partly because of his bachelor’s degree in Islamic studies, he was reporting from Pakistan prior to the U.S. military response to the September 11 terrorist attacks. He also has reported extensively on the threat of biological and chemical attacks and the anthrax scare that gripped the nation.
In addition to Dr. Arnot’s address, the event will recognize several dedicated volunteers who have served on behalf of the Health Improvement Collaborative of Greater Cincinnati.
Presenting sponsors for this year’s event include Procter & Gamble, UnitedHealthcare and Mercer. Proceeds will benefit various Collaborative initiatives that focus on critical health issues such as physician supply and health care quality.
