Biography
of CEO
 Linette
K. Atwood
Co-founder, CEO
Patient Resource Publishing
latwood@patientresource.net
Linette Atwood is a publisher with more than 25 years
of leadership experience in medical publishing. In the
early 1980s she co-founded Atwood Publishing, which
set the standard in delivering news and information
at major medical meetings throughout the United States.
Atwood Publishing grew to be the largest company in
its field. In the mid-1990s, Linette co-founded and
was the Chief Executive Officer of Exhibitor Visibility
Worldwide (EVW). Both companies led the way in publishing
the latest advancements in treatment and care during
national meetings for such prestigious medical organizations
as the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American
Society of Clinical Oncology and the American Academy
of Pediatrics, to name a few. The primary audience for
both Atwood Publishing and EVW was doctors and other
medical professionals.
Linette's new company, Patient Resource Publishing,
continues the important theme of medical information
and education but with a new audience: the patient.
As a cancer survivor, Linette has a unique perspective
on the many challenges faced by both patients and families
when confronting a life-altering disease. Her goal is
to set a new standard in medical publishing by equipping
patients with comprehensive and disease-specific resources
designed to empower and heal.
