An interview with Steve Case about Revolution Health

January 24, 2007

What better way to start a review blog than to brag gloat jump up and down with glee announce that I was able to have an incredible phone interview with Steve Case.  (You know Steve Case?  The co-founder of AOL, who led the charge to make the Internet an essential part of everyday life.  Yes, that Steve Case!)

I was honored to be one of the women on this call with Steve Case.    The call was set up by the amazing and always supportive Cynthia.  She arranged this call with Steve for me and a few other Moms. ( Sarah from Sarah and the Goon Squad, Kelly of Mocha Mama, and Jenny of Three Kid Circus– and of course here!.  Sadly, we missed our good friends and fellow Mommy bloggers Mary Tsao and Grace Davis who were supposed to be on the call but had schedule conflicts. They would have added even more to this amazing phone call.)

So how do these things tie in?  Yesterday Steve launched RevolutionHealth.com™ which is a free online service which will help families take action to manage their health care and achieve their healthy living goals.  In addition Revolution Health™ membership gives members "access to premium health services now only enjoyed by a few."  You can read all about it in the press release here.

But it is more than just advice or links to symptoms. It is a community.  It is a place to learn from others and get real time help.    The site even has a really cool section with tool-kits that help you calculate everything from weight management to heart attack risk factors.

One of the features I really do enjoy that they have is the ability to speak with an actual human and not just a recording being when you need to discuss health issues.  (If you sign up now, the early users get a free year long membership.  Bonus!)

Let’s face it, as Moms, most of us turn to other Moms for advice when it comes to health issues for our children as well as for ourselves.  And sometimes when you are not sure that you understand what you have heard or you want more confirmation, you want professional back up support.  Revolution Health has both.  Honestly, after spending ages and ages surfing through the site, I realized just how much this site has to offer.  Not to mention the fact that I was able to find out some really great information on my daughter’s bladder infection and I got some good information from other Moms.  (Now that is what I am talking about!)

Go check out Revolution Health for yourself.  Go on!  I know I am looking forward to seeing how this site grows and evolves.

Oh and be sure the tell Steve Case that Jenn Satterwhite (who is more than willing to be his new BFF) sent you his way.
