Pacific Meso Center’s Meet the Expert Series Presents ADAO President and Co-Founder, Linda Reinstein

On Wednesday, July 17, 2013, Linda Reinstein, Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) President/CEO and Co-Founder, will be presenting Ban Asbestos Struggle: From our Homes to the Hill, at 11am PDT as part of Pacific Meso Center’s (PMC) “Meet the Expert” Series.

After Linda’s husband Alan was diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma in 2003, she fought back by becoming one of the most influential voices in the ban asbestos movement. In 2004, Linda co-founded ADAO to raise awareness about the dangers of asbestos and unite patients and families who have been affected by asbestos-related disease. Today ADAO is the largest independent asbestos victims’ organization based in the United States, with over 20,000 individuals eager to live in a world without asbestos.

Linda has frequently served as a U.S. Congressional witness, having presented testimony before the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives as well as the U.S. Department of Labor (OSHA), U.S. Surgeon General, and the U.S. EPA. She has also presented keynote speeches to the British House of Commons, United Nations IX World Congress on Safety and Health at Work, TED Manhattan Beach, the International Mesothelioma Interest Group (iMig) and audiences throughout the world.

The “Meet the Expert” Series is hosted by Savannah Cline, RN, BSN and Medical Liaison at The Pacific Meso Center. The series is part of Savannah’s efforts to serve as a resource for mesothelioma patients, as well as their families and friends, who are searching for reliable information regarding mesothelioma and current treatment options.  

“This is our first "Meet the Expert" series webinar. We hope that patients, family members, and physicians will gain something from listening; information surrounding treatment for mesothelioma, how chemotherapy is used, how one is exposed to asbestos, or what is being done today to ban asbestos.”
