Five Top Tips for Healthy Travels

LOS ANGELES, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/23/10 — While travelers
often follow a checklist to ensure they don’t leave home without what
they think are vacation essentials, like the right bathing suit and
sun block or hiking boots and thick socks, few people devote the same
level of attention to protecting their health before a trip. Whether
traveling to India or Indiana, it’s important to have yours and your
travel companions’ health considerations in order.

Leslie Michelson, chairman and CEO of Private Health Management,
understands that one’s health can be at risk at any destination,
exotic or domestic. For a happy and healthy travel experience, you
should always:

– Pack a complete set of medications in your carry-on bag and keep it
with you
– Carry a laminated card listing the generic name and country-specific
brand names for all medications you take
– Place key medical information and physician contacts on a thumb drive
and have it on you
– Follow all standard recommendations about adjusting to altitudes,
temperatures, water and foods, to acclimate your body
– Identify the best-in-class physicians and hospital nearest your
destination before leaving home as well as the nearest U.S. embassy
and/or consulate

Michelson, a world-traveler himself, is uniquely positioned to give
advice in this arena. Having drawn upon 20 years in the health care
industry, Michelson founded Private Health Management to answer the
growing need for specialized medical care and 24-hour service.

Private Health identifies and gains priority access to the
world-class specialists, sub-specialists and facilities that are
uniquely qualified to treat a patient’s specific condition. The
company offers physician-driven Personal Care Teams, available
24/7/365, to manage all clinical and logistical aspects of medical
care. Additionally, in-house medical researchers are used to identify
the most advanced diagnostic techniques, therapies and experts,
particularly for those patients facing a critical diagnosis or
injury.

Michelson makes regular appearances discussing the changing business
of medicine at venues ranging from Young Presidents’ Organization
chapters to yacht clubs, with an upcoming event at the Jonathan Club
in Los Angeles. To schedule a speaking engagement with Michelson or
