"The Consumer Medical Travel and Consumer Health Expo presents opportunities for local residents and visitors to learn more about the tools for achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle -- as well as the vast array of options for accessing medical care outside the country at a fraction of the cost of US-based services," states Skip Brickley, CEO of Transmarx, LLC, one of the country's premier conference and trade show producers.

Brickley adds that the Consumer Medical Travel and Consumer Health Expo is the result of a partnership between Transmarx and CPR Strategic Marketing Communications, a national healthcare public relations and communications firm.

In addition to learning about medical tourism, attendees will have full access to the expo floor, including activities that will provide specific information about their personal health. Expo floor activities will include general health screenings, nutrition advice, wellness and prevention coaching, and more. The event is being sponsored by BoomJ.com, which will provide giveaways for attendees, including two online shopping sprees with a combined value of $750.

"The Consumer Health World Conference is an ideal venue for consumers to explore medical tourism options and to understand their fitness and well being options while providing resources for individuals to learn how to improve their quality of life through healthier living," says Joseph Carabello, president and CEO of CPR Strategic Marketing Communications.

Consumer Experience Day attendees will also have access to an informational session entitled, "Introduction to Global Health Care: It's More than Passports and Airplanes." Conducted by Josef Woodman, author of the definitive medical tourism book -- Patients Beyond Borders -- the session will offer consumers a bird's eye view of international medical travel and the contemporary global healthcare arena.

Brickley continues, "Medical tourism is the answer for uninsured, under insured and affluent Americans looking for quality procedures with significant cost savings. By staging events such as the Las Vegas Consumer Medical Tourism Expo and Consumer Experience Days at Consumer Health World, the consumer will be provided an invaluable venue for better understanding of this cost effective option for their medical care."
