Dr. Jeffrey Brown
Physician, author, educator and professional speaker
Jeffrey Brown, M.D., is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and licensed in the state of Maryland. As a physician, author, and professional speaker his central goal is to help bridge the gap between what doctors know and what patients understand.
Since the beginning of his residency training at the Johns Hopkins University/Sinai Hospital Program, and throughout his years working in emergency rooms, hospital wards, and in clinic settings from Johns Hopkins Hospital to Harvard's Mass General, Dr. Brown has encountered thousands of patients who have little knowledge of their personal health history and chronic illnesses. These findings continue to concern Dr. Brown, because it is precisely this lack of knowledge that increases a person's risk of suffering from avoidable complications of disease, medical errors, and medical mismanagement.
As a result, he has been on a path to fill the knowledge gap that exists between physicians and their patients. Dr. Brown is always amazed and troubled when he talks to patients who have had a chronic illness for ten, twenty, or even thirty years but don't know the very basics about their illness and how to better manage it. Dr. Brown often finds himself spending much-needed time with patients explaining their health problems in simple, plain language.
In addition to authoring Health Power 101: the Complete Guide to Patient Empowerment and the Health Power 101 Organizer, Dr. Brown is also the founder and president of Health Power 101 Seminars, LLC, which has been created to empower patients, caregivers, and health-conscious individuals to take charge of their health.
Here's what attendees of Dr. Brown's talks have said:
"You did an excellent presentation on the heart at a Health Fair at our church, Greater Morning Star, Naomi, Louisiana. You are not only a gifted physician and lecturer, but displays a sensitivity to people that seems to be missing in some physicians.
It was amazing to see how the congregation responded to him. Normally, when a physician speaks, the language is so technical, that it's difficult to understand without a medical background. Dr. Brown was so engaging and approachable in his presentation; I didn't think the congregation was ever going to let him leave. Practically everyone had questions for him. We received so many positive comments from members of the congregation and from some of the other health care professionals in attendance.
Thank you Dr. Brown for providing accurate clear guidance on the workings of the heart and how we can be better stewards of the body God has blessed us with. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with the community.
