Laura Greenwald, CEO of the Ready In 10 Network
Laura Greenwald is president of Stuf Productions and Co-Executive Director of the Next of Kin Education Project. Besides writing for “Screen Magazine” and “The Tolucan,” 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. Soon after founding the non-profit NOKEP, 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 decided to use 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.
