Michelle King Robson
Michelle King Robson (pronounced robe-son) is the founder and Chairman of
EmpowHer.com, a
free digital Internet community where women ask, share and connect to
enhance each other’s health. The site features the country’s first online
medical video encyclopedia and features health education and tips from
some of America’s leading physicians. Now in beta format, the site will be
upgraded and formally launched in November of 2008. Michelle founded the
company in 2007, the result of years of health advocacy for her friends
and colleagues about their healthcare ordeals.
Her passion for health advocacy was rooted from her own very personal
health nightmare. Following a complete hysterectomy some five years ago,
Michelle was transformed from a highly active woman to being unable to
function. She saw multiple doctors, suffered numerous hospitalizations and
took nine different medications before getting the help she needed. The
lack of information and resources on women’s health led her to create
EmpowHer.com. as a “medical home” for women to discuss their most intimate
health concerns.
Michelle has served her community, her state and even the national stage
regarding vital health care and community issues. She has served as chair
of various state commissions and played a key role in the national effort
to educate the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about the benefits of
bioidentical hormones, resulting in the largest consumer advocacy campaign
with the FDA behind smoking.
She served as co-chair of the St. Joseph’s Hospital and Barrow’s Medical
Center $32 million dollar Pushing Boundaries Capital Campaign. She is a
founding member of the National Campaign for Tolerance, and continues to
serve as a Board Member at The Biltmore Bank of Arizona. Michelle was also
a former board member of the Josephson Institute of Ethics, the nation’s
leading advocacy group for ethics education and community outreach with a
campaign called Character Counts.
Most recently, she was nominated to serve on the Governor’s Arizona
Commission of Women’s and Children’s Health.
Michelle has been featured in many women’s magazines and has shared her
story with newspapers, television and radio outlets across the U.S.
Michelle lives with her husband Ed, and daughter Amanda in Phoenix,
Arizona.
