CMO Dr. Swaney will briefly present MyHealthVillage.com's social networking functions and CEO Tracy Korman will share the long-term vision for MyHealthVillage.com as a resource for consumers, employers and physicians.

There is one kind of support that you can get from your doctor or your HealthGuide, but there is an altogether different type of support you get from people who share similar challenges.

--  Community @ MyHealthVillage.com with Jan Swaney, M.D. covering general     health and wellness subjects --  Healthy Eating & Exercising @ MyHealthVillage.com hosted by Le Greta     Hudson, M.S., R.D., C.D.E. and other nationally known nutrition and     exercise experts --  Living with Chronic Conditions @ MyHealthVillage.com hosted by     registered nurse and certified diabetes educator Cindy Sears covering     coping with common chronic conditions     

Or you can create your own discussion. The site is FREE to join and FREE to use.

The Webinar will also detail how to use MyHealthVillage.com to find support, share challenges, get practical advice and celebrate health successes with easy-to-use tools for posting comments, starting your own blog, viewing informative videos, or sending secure messages to your peers.

Longitude's MyHealthVillage.com is unique in that it offers the social health networking free and open to all consumers while deriving revenues from its premium services through employer clients, and compared with other employer-sponsored health improvement programs we are the only one to actively involve the primary care physician in an ongoing way.

Myhealthvilage.com is free and open to the public, offers forum discussions moderated by health professionals, as well as the opportunity to create a profile, meet friends, blog, upload videos and other user generated content.

I hope to see you in the village!
