Welcome to HealthScope!

I am pleased to kick off HealthScope, an APCO Worldwide online forum on leading health issues around the globe.  Our writers are experts from diverse backgrounds and include former Capitol Hill staff, HHS and FDA officials, executives from the health care industry, reporters, and policy analysts.  Our goal is to post meaningful discussions on issues of interest in health care and offer critical insight.

Over the coming days and months, you will see blog posts on a variety of topics, ranging from health care reform in countries around the world to reputational challenges facing health care companies, to the impact of scientific breakthroughs on our lives.  I hope you will visit this blog often, offering us your own thoughts about each topic.  We look forward to robust discussions on these important health topics.

Robert Schooling is president, Americas and chairs APCO’s health practices.
