The Krongrad Institute Partners With Medical Tourism Experts Health Travel Guides To Provide Domestic and International Prostrate Treatment Options for patients in the US, Europe and Caribbean
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. October 7, 2008 Health Travel Guides (HTG), a medical tourism company that provides the most comprehensive technology platform for health travel management, has signed an agreement with The Krongrad Group of Miami, Florida, to develop domestic and international medical tourism options for those seeking prostate treatment.
This is an exciting partnership because it provides Health Travel Guides with its first domestic health travel partner, said Health Travel Guides CEO Herb Stephens. Its important for consumers to understand that they have health care options that dont necessarily mean traveling abroad. Health Travel Guides is committed to providing quality, affordable carewherever it is available.
The Krongrad Institute Founder and Medical Director Arnon Krongrad, MD, says "Men facing prostate cancer surgery and prostatitis surgery understand that their fate depends most critically on the quality of their surgery. They are increasingly willing to travel to get quality surgery. By working with HTG The Krongrad Institute broadens access to its surgical services to thousands of men. We are excited by the chance to join hands with HTG to improve the quality of care for them."
Dr. Arnon Krongrad is a pioneering surgeon who in 1999 introduced Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Prostate Surgery (LRP) to the world. The Krongrad Institute is the first and longest running program for LRP in North or South America. Dr. Krongrads surgical technique is credited with changing nearly 100 years of medical practice with improved patient safety, ease in recovery, shorter hospital stay and better medical economics.
The unique alliance has, for the first time, made available world-class expertise of an American Center of Excellence in a medical tourism format. And in addition to the Miami location, those who wish to add a vacation to their travel, or just rejuvenate in a more exotic location, can choose to schedule their procedure with The Krongrad Institutes Caribbean location.
Dr. Krongrad is a pioneer in the treatment of prostate cancer and chronic prostatitis and The Krongrad Institute is today widely viewed as the premier global destination for treatment of these conditions. Adding such high caliber treatment options to our portfolio of services provides our patients with the best tools for managing their important health care decisions, says Mr. Stephens.
About The Krongrad Institute The Krongrad Institute was established to provide minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery. Establishment of the Institute in 1999 was driven by a dramatic technical advance in prostate cancer surgery: the development of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP).
Dr. Krongrad and his colleagues literally wrote the book on the technique of LRP, and Dr. Krongrad pioneered the application of LRP in North America. The Krongrad Institute is the worlds only private program exclusively devoted to LRP.
