New MAMA Board of Directors President, Geoff Gross, will focus on increasing access to the safety & wellness resources aging adults need through advocacy, innovation, and collaboration
PHILADELPHIA, March 7, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Medical Alert Monitoring Association (MAMA) announces the appointment of Geoff Gross, Founder and CEO of Medical Guardian, as President of the Board of Directors for MAMA. Gross recently assumed the role after completing his 8th year on the Board, serving as Vice President over the last few years.
Fall Call Founder & President, Dr. Shea Gregg, welcomed Gross saying, "We are excited to have Geoff at the helm of the association. His commitment to the industry and the aging adult population who we serve will drive us all to reach new levels of professionalism and growth. The Board and our members are looking forward to continuing the great work of MAMA under Geoff's collaborative, visionary leadership."
According to Gross, "A key focus for the Board is ramping up awareness and advocacy for the industry. 9 out of 10 aging adults in this country are still without any type of personal safety device and increasing support for the resources they need is essential towards their health and wellbeing. As the number of adults over 65 years of age will continue to rise in the coming years, I see MAMA as a leader in ensuring aging adults have access to the tools they need to stay safe, active and connected to proactive and emergency care. As President of the Board of Directors, I look forward to working together with other industry leaders, legislators and aging community advocates to move our industry forward and serve our members well."
To facilitate these objectives, the board has engaged CMA, a professional management company, to optimize business practices including financial reporting, conference logistics, marketing, and member management. The Board is also actively focused on expanding, with plans to include new association members from a variety of service providers and monitoring centers to ensure a broad representation of the industry.
The annual conference, a cornerstone event for MAMA, is already in the planning stages under Gross's leadership. Scheduled for September 24th & 25th in Washington D.C., this year's conference will introduce a new healthcare-focused track, designed to address the critical topics of reimbursement landscape, managed care, remote patient monitoring, partnerships with big tech, and emergency transport. This initiative highlights MAMA's commitment to addressing the evolving needs of the industry and equipping members with the strategies and insights needed to successfully navigate the healthcare ecosystem.
