Seth Moulton
Congressman (D-MA) United States House of Representatives |
Seth Moulton was first called to service when he joined the Marines in 2001, days after graduating from college and months before the attacks on 9/11. As the leader of an infantry platoon, he was among the first Americans to reach Baghdad in 2003. He served four tours in a war that he didn’t agree with – but he was proud to go, so no one had to go in his place.
After returning home from Iraq, Seth earned joint degrees in Business and Public Policy at graduate school, and then worked in the private sector in Texas to build the country’s first high speed rail line. But it wasn’t long before he was called to serve once again – this time in his home district in Massachusetts.
Seth ran – and won – on a platform of bringing a new generation of leadership to Washington, becoming the only Democrat to unseat an incumbent in a primary in 2014.
In the two terms since he was first sworn in, Seth has worked tirelessly to uphold his commitment to bipartisanship. He has passed several bipartisan bills, including the Faster Care for Veterans Act and the Modernizing Government Travel Act, and was named the most effective freshman Democrat by the Center for Effective Lawmaking. He has also concentrated on spurring economic development in Massachusetts, creating the first intergovernmental task force focused on growing the economy of Lynn, the biggest city in his district.
Today, as a member of the Budget Committee, Seth is focused on creating a new economic agenda that will make a difference for American families. He also sits on the House Armed Services Committee and is the top Democrat on the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee.
Seth lives in Salem, Massachusetts with his wife, Elizabeth, and their daughter, Emmy.

Airrosti is a healthcare provider group that employs and trains providers who specialize in delivering high quality, outcome-based musculoskeletal care that reduces recovery times for patients and prevents unnecessary MRIs, pharmaceuticals, and surgeries. Airrosti works with employers to design a customized awareness, education, and ongoing engagement program that helps ensure cost savings and member satisfaction. This in-network solution includes benefit design, onsite wellness events, customized employee communications, digital tools, and availability of onsite clinical care.
Allergychoices Approach: Allergychoices helps employers reduce the costs and impact of chronic allergic diseases (allergies, asthma, chronic sinusitis, eczema, etc.) through a custom diagnostic and allergy drop treatment program (using the La Crosse Method™ Protocol). The Allergy Control Program integrates easily with onsite/nearsite/DPC clinic workflows. This disease-modifying treatment helps reduce short- and long-term spend and improve employee health and productivity; and it fully addresses quadruple aim goals. Many people don’t realize allergic diseases impact one in five employees –costs add up quickly!
How we help employers: We help employers reduce spend, increase productivity and decrease absenteeism from allergic diseases through onsite/nearsite/primary & DPC care clinics. By training these providers, we help them treat rather than refer to specialists, enhance patient engagement, adherence, and continuity of care. Patients take tailored treatment at home, reducing time away from work. Because treatment changes the underlying disease, patients often reduce or eliminate many chronic allergic diseases that drive long-term costs, as well as reduce medications including those that impact productivity (sedating antihistamines are notorious for this). Protocol outcomes have been validated through the Validation Institute.

A Path to Cognitive Health and Peace of Mind
Cognivue® is the world’s first FDA-cleared test of cognitive function. Cognivue objectively, quantitatively and reliably identifies changes in cognitive function that could be indicative of an impairment that you may optimally treat or manage. It’s personalized, consistent and reliable.
The health care system tests routinely for conditions such as cervical cancer, diabetes, cholesterol, colon cancer, etc., but there is no consistent standard of care around cognitive health testing. Cognitive testing is often performed too late when cognitive functions are moderate or severely impaired. In addition, current cognitive testing consists of simple decade-old tests performed either with paper and pencil or embedded in a computer. Cognivue elevates the current standard of care as it relates to cognitive testing.
