Journalists and Media Converge on MTA Medical Tourism Conference in Los Angeles

Oct. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- “I have had the opportunity to live and work in Mexico, Central America and Italy. I became a strong proponent of medical tourism after experiencing first-hand the quality, affordable medical care available outside the United States. Recently, I underwent a series of cosmetic procedures at Renova Centro Integral de Cirugía Plástica in Guatemala City, with phenomenal results,” says Dana Zambon, professional copywriter and published author from Houston, Texas, USA.

“As a professional writer who has personally undergone surgery abroad, my core strength is marketing the services of world-class doctors and hospitals to an American target audience that is largely unaware of the benefits of medical tourism,” she added.  

“We have had many requests for media passes from both international and US media and they are very excited about this year’s event which should be almost twice as large as last year,” said Melissa Skelton, Senior Meeting Manager for the medical tourism conference.
