Eileen advises two-thirds of the commercially owned and operated nuclear power plants in North America, and she is author of Media Guide to Radiological Issues. She also counsels and trains executives at many of the country’s leading hospitals. Eileen has served as interim senior vice president of communications & government affairs for Advocate Health Care, the largest health care system in Illinois.

"When you face difficult situations such as a plant accident, layoffs, financial improprieties, or medical errors, communication is a high risk proposition demanding skill and discipline. Smart leaders embrace the challenge and learn to succeed."
