Elizabeth L. Bewley founded Pario Health Institute in 2008. She promotes change so that health care's purpose becomes "to enable people to lead the lives they want." Too often today, health care behaves as if its purpose is simply "to deliver tests and treatments."

In 2010 Bewley authored Killer Cure: Why health care is the second leading cause of death in America and how to ensure that it's not yours. Publishers Weekly declared Killer Cure "well written" and noted that it reflects "a genuine commitment to improving health care" and that it "offers excellent suggestions to patients."

Bewley writes a regular weekly column called "The Good Patient" for the Prescott, AZ Daily Courier. She is also working on two new books.

A twenty-year veteran of health care icon Johnson & Johnson, she has been recruited as both an advisor to and a speaker at national health policy conferences. In 1996 she wrote Solving America's Health Care Problems which predicted a number of trends nearly a decade before they started making headlines.

Bewley earned an MBA from Columbia and is a certified Six Sigma Black Belt. Her unwavering commitment to patient advocacy is informed both by her extensive study and by her own health care experiences - including those related to a bicycle crash that occurred at 44 mph.
