On behalf of the entire NG Healthcare team, I am delighted to announce the return of Dr. Lynn Witherspoon as a delegate attendee at the Fall 2009 NG Healthcare Summit. Lynn is seen as a premier thought leader in the area of clinical informatics, and we look forward to his participation at the upcoming event.
