Rounding out the staff of Medical Mommas is Andrea Kane. As stated in previous posts, she joins Rhonda Rowland, Diana Keough and Gina Hill.
Andrea Kane has been writing and producing health care and medical news for television, the web and various magazines for more than 15 years. Most recently, she was the Wellness Correspondent for the nascent travelgirl magazine, where she wrote on a wide variety of topics, from the ancient healing traditions of Hawaii to traveling with baby in-utero to the health benefits of a monastic retreat.
Prior to that, Andrea was a staff writer at WebMD (and its predecessor Medcast) where she worked on everything from breaking news stories to medical conferences to in-depth trend pieces.
During her many years as a writer and producer in CNN’s award-winning medical unit, she was responsible for (among other things) producing daily medical stories, writing and producing the weekend show Your Health and helped launch the monthly Better Health Network.
Somehow, somewhere along the line, amidst the writing and reporting frenzy, she managed to give birth to two terrific daughters, who also appear to have ink running in their veins and are never at a loss for words (the wheels of karma have a tight turning radius, indeed).
Andrea attended Vassar College and Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. A native New Yorker, she moved to Atlanta 15 years ago. MedicalMommas.com is her fourth start up experience, after travelgirl, WebMD, and Better Health Network.
She now lives in Atlanta with her husband and two daughters.
