Molly Mettler, MSW
Mettler is a tireless advocate for a stronger role for health care consumers. Her research, writing, and speaking all shine a spotlight on how to inform and enable consumers to participate more fully in their health care and medical decision making.
Mettler has authored scores of books and articles on medical self-care and health promotion, including HealthwiseŽ for Life, now in its sixth edition with more than three million copies in distribution. Her latest book, coauthored with Donald W. Kemper, is Information Therapy: Prescribed Information as a Reimbursable Medical Service. Particularly passionate about health care for people age 50 and better, Mettler is past chair of the National Council on the Aging (NCOA). She was the founding chair for the NCOA's Health Promotion Institute in 1990. That group honored her contributions by creating the "Molly Mettler Award" for leadership in health promotion.
