Top Doctor Pioneers Field of Musical Health Messaging
July 22, 2009
NEWTON, MA—Mache Seibel, MD, is among the 5% of American doctors named by peers to the prestigious Best Doctors in America 2009-2010 database. “Best Doctors,” selected upon the completion of a rigorous peer-review process, are called upon to help other doctors correctly diagnose and treat complicated medical cases.
Like many of the doctors selected, Dr. Seibel is a leader in his field. In addition to being a Professor of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, he is the director of the University of Massachusetts’s Complicated Menopause Program.
Unlike many of the doctors selected, however, Dr. Seibel is also a singer-songwriter and a social entrepreneur. Specifically, he is the founder of a company called HealthRock, which uses music to spread health messages. Through HealthRock, where he writes and sings songs about health, Dr. Seibel is pioneering the field of musical health messaging.
The company has collected many accolades, including a 2009 CD of the Year Award from Creative Child Magazine. Dr. Seibel has been invited to present HealthRock’s musical approach to health messaging at the Centers for Disease Control in August.
According to Dr. Seibel, “I believe it’s better to stay well than to get well. And songs make it easier for people to remember health information, which helps them stay healthy. That is the goal of HealthRock.”
As one of America’s Best Doctors, and as the founder of HealthRock, Dr. Seibel is well on his way to helping people stay well.
