Laura Greenwald

About

Mother and daughter screenwriting team Janet and Laura Greenwald, have been helming The Next of Kin Education Project since 2002. NOKEP began after Janet’s mother Elaine Sullivan died at the hands of a Chicago hospital due to massive negligence. The hospital failed to notify them that Elaine had even been hospitalized, for days. By the time they were called it was too late, and Elaine died unnecessarily and alone. After discovering that there were no laws regulating next of kin notification in Illinois or California, even if the patient is unconscious or is unable to communicate, the duo created and enacted three Next of Kin Laws in both states.

 

Janet and Laura then joined forces with medical experts to create Notify In 7 which gives hospitals the tools they need to perform NOK notifications quickly and easily in almost any situation. Using what they had learned through NOKEP, they created the Ready In 10 Get Ready Kit and Don't Lose All Your Stuff At College, to help families and college students locate and compile their vital documents, contacts and emergency medical information into a Grab and Go format, they can take with them at a moment's notice.

Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">What happens when a king loses his prowess? The day Henry IV could finally declare he had vanquished his enemies, he threw it all away with an infamous deed. No English king had executed an archbishop before. And divine judgment was quick to follow. Many thought he was struck with leprosy—God's greatest punishment for sinners. From that point on, Henry's health was cursed and he fought doggedly on as his body continued to betray him—reducing this once great warrior to an invalid. Fortunately for England, his heir was ready and eager to take over. But Henry wasn't willing to relinquish what he had worked so hard to preserve. No one was going to take away his royal prerogative—not even Prince Hal. But Henry didn't count on Hal's dauntless nature, which threatened to tear the royal family apart.</span></p>

Story Behind The Book

Laura Greenwald is president of the Ready In 10 Network, Stuf Productions, Co-Founder of the Next of Kin Education Project. She is the daughter half of one of the only mother/daughter screen and television writing teams in the entertainment industry. Laura became an expert in patient notification and safety issues after the death of her grandmother Elaine at the hands of a local hospital. When she and her mother Janet uncovered loopholes in healthcare law that had contributed to Elaine's death, the duo joined forces with legislators to enact three healthcare laws to close them. They created the Seven Steps to Successful Notification System to provide hospitals like Dallas' Methodist Medical Center, with the skills and tools they need to notify and reunite trauma victims, John Does and unconscious emergency room patients with their loved ones, quickly and easily. After Hurricane Katrina, Laura & Janet used the knowledge they'd gained, to help families across America become better prepared for sudden disasters. She authored the book "Don't Lose All Your Stuff in a Hurricane," as well as their newest effort, the cutting-edge disaster prep system "Ready In 10". The goal? To have every family, ready to deal with any disaster or emergency, in 10 minutes or less. Laura and Janet have just completed their latest screenplay "Without Consent" which is now under consideration at major studios.

Reviews

The Next of Kin Education Project, led by Laura &amp; Janet Greenwald, is a pioneer in the world of educating people and families about the necessity to be PROACTIVE vs. REACTIVE and to take action in emergency situation preparedness. <br /><br />Impacted by a personal family tragedy several years ago, Laura &amp; Janet set off to take a stand for families and make a negative circumstance into a very positive one, many times over. I was so excited when I found out &quot;Ready in 10&quot; was available in paperback. <br /><br />Buy &quot;Ready in 10&quot; for your family or as a gift for your loved ones. It just takes one afternoon to get you and your family fully prepared. Buying this book and taking simple action now can seriously save lives, heartache down the road and keep you from saying, &quot;Oh, if only we had taken the time to get the family prepared.&quot; <br /><br />Brian Ouellette, Founder/Creator of Shoewallet.com
