Joint replacements are the #1 expenditure of Medicare. The process of approving these medical devices is flawed according to the Institute of Medicine. It is time for patients' voices to be heard as stakeholders and for public support for increased medical device industry accountability and heightened protections for patients. Post-market registry. Product warranty. Patient/consumer stakeholder equity. Rescind industry pre-emptions/entitlements. All clinical trials must report all data.

Partnership With Patients Summit
Friday, Sept 21, 2012 at 6 PM - Sunday, Sept 23, 2012 at 4 PM
Kansas City, MO
Event Details
This conference is two-fold in its mission. We will be working on strategies for a grass roots support the Partnership for Patients campaign. We will also help enable patients by providing a place to network, learn and grow as patient advocates that focus on health policy. You can read more about this on our website 

The funding model for this event is the STONE SOUP method.  Please give what you can and take from this event the energy you need. 

We have no federal funding and no grants.  Cerner has graciously agreed to provide the space for our event in their educational building.  The Society for Participatory medicine is our non-profit partner.  They have agreed to create a Patient Travel Scholarship Fund.  They will accept donations for this purpose and will issue grants.  The hope being that this fund will grow beyond this one event and help patients attend other conferences in the future. 

We are looking for sponsors to help defray overall costs as well as providing scholarships to patients for travel and lodging.  This summit will be a moment of true cooperation with venders, organizations, providers and patients all coming together to advocate for positive change.  If you purchase a ticket here it covers attendance at this conference on Friday night, Saturday and Sunday.  You will need to make travel and lodging arrangement in addition.  A block of rooms have been reserved at
