Dr. Roter supports the National Health Council. In January, 2010 he recorded Piatti's 12th Cello Caprice and dedicated it to the NHC. It was performed at their annual Health Leadership Conference.
"The National Health Council is the only organization of its kind
that brings together all segments of the health care community to
provide a united voice for the more than 133 million people with
chronic diseases and disabilities and their family caregivers. Made up
of more than 100 national health-related organizations, its core
membership includes 50 of the nation’s leading patient advocacy groups.
Other members include professional and membership associations,
nonprofit organizations with an interest in health, and major
pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology companies."
"The
National Health Council brings together diverse stakeholders within the
health community to work for health care that meets the personal needs
and goals of people with chronic diseases and disabilities."
