Members

Medvale Members Help Each
Other Through A Network
Of Clubs.

We call our members (the citizens of our virtual town) Medvalistas. This suggests they are dissatisfied with existing healthcare delivery performance and are actively attempting to make changes. Like in a small town, we have clubs. Our Medvalistas join these Medvale clubs with other healthcare delivery influencers who have similar needs and interests. These clubs are limited to around eight members to keep them small and intimate. They meet monthly for an hour and a half to collaborate and help each other. We call these meetings collaborations.

 

Below you can see our Medvalistas within their Medvale clubs.

Knowing there has to be a better way, these healthcare idealists are improving healthcare delivery with their innovations.

Once executives have left their all-consuming positions of running a healthcare organization (during the 2.0 phase of their life), they often want a less hectic lifestyle. However, during the 3.0 phase which may be one third of their lives, they still desire meaningful contributions and connections with peers. They have much to give back and experiences to share, often by financially investing in interesting healthcare innovations. This club uniquely offers them those opportunities.
