I have amazing news to share with you: HealthTap is now inviting people around the world to act as volunteer translators and help us in our mission to democratize access to health information and save lives everyday. I started Healthtap with the belief that healthcare was a fundamental human right. However, high-quality care hasn’t been available in every language––until now. Under the supervision of doctors, we’re enlisting thousands of volunteers to help us translate the world’s largest online library of doctor knowledge. HealthTap is changing the way healthcare is delivered, and now you can join our movement to help people live happier, healthier lives. You can help by spreading the word and by forwarding this email to potential volunteers and doctors who can join us in bringing unprecedented access to high quality doctor knowledge to billions everywhere. Wishing you good health and smiles, Ron Gutman, CEO & Founder HealthTap
