See above. I’ve seen Laura in person once, and prior to our appointment today, had a tele-med session last month. Laura - at the tele session based on BP reading provided by me adjusted my meds. Lab test results indicated another adjustment was needed. Since that session, I’ve been sending BP readings in, and Laura has kept in contact with me via MyNM. Again, I feel knowledgeable about my situation and well-cared for.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
