About
I’m Malorye Allison and I write the HealthDame blog. An award-winning medical writer, I have been following health care trends for more than 15 years. I specialize in spotting breakthrough technologies and key trends in medicine, science, information technology, and health care reform. My work has been published in many of the leading newsletters and journals in this field, including The Harvard Health Letter, Science, Nature Biotechnology, and Nature Reviews in Drug Discovery. In addition, I have conceived and launched multiple healthcare magazines, newsletters and Websites, including Living Healthy (for BlueCross and blue Shield), PharmaWeek, www.ReformPlans.com, and Women’s Health Now. In 2002, I received two national awards (Neal and ASBP) for a series I wrote for Bio-ITWorld called: “The New, New Pharmacogenomics.” Currently, I am also a contributing blogger for Grameen America – a U.S.-based microfinance organization that is an offshoot of the Grameen Bank. I’m not a doctor, and none of the advice on HealthDame is ever meant to substitute for the advice of your own trusted physician. I mean to “augment” your health care experience, and to inspire you to take greater control of your health and wellbeing.
