Pamela Loren is Chairman and C.E.O., of Loren Communications International, Ltd. The diversified high technology service Organization is engaged in the transfer of information and the interpretation of medical data on a worldwide basis.

   Our Organization differs from many others not only in our use of the telecommunications technology but also in regard to our most important commodity…people. The majority of the permanent Staff are women, and within that category the minority segment of the population predominates. In addition, the President, Madeline Winters, is a woman in her late seventies. Thus, we enunciate a philosophy of respect for and advancement of a most important segment of our population, without limitation. Through some of our developing programs, more of these people will become productive and brought into the mainstream of our economy.

   Of great importance is Dr. Loren’s commitment to women and other minorities. In this vein, the Company has developed a large program wherein women with office skills who have small children and cannot leave their homes, now have the ability to be productively employed. Terminals located in their homes, or in day-care facilities, receive and store material which is transcribed by them, and, when completed, transmitted into terminals in the New York office which are linked to theirs by telephone and modem. This program has been expanded to offer part-time employment to several hundred women, who, otherwise, are considered unemployable.

   MEDIC (Medical Evaluations Diagnoses InterCountry) provides a special service between Medical Centers and Specialists in North and South America to facilitate the rapid transmittal of medical data, reports and analyses on a real-time basis. This service opens the lines of communication between practicing physicians in the two Americas so that the acknowledged medical expertise and capabilities of the United States can be more readily accessible to our South American neighbors.

   We receive by fax from Hospitals and Medical Specialists in South America complicated medical findings on a patient. We fax these findings to Clients who are leading physicians around the United States for comparative analyses. Company specialists collate the return faxes and speed them to South America. This utilization of facsimile has opened up new vistas for this equipment, putting it to use in creative new ways to save the lives of people throughout the world. It allows the South American doctor to make a quick life-saving decision on whether a patient should be flown to the United States for specialized work or whether the procedure can be handled on site. Domestically, we had been utilizing facsimile hardware to rush cardiograms, heart stress test results, oncology, and immunology findings for comparative analysis to Medical Centers throughout the United States.

   Pamela Loren was appointed by Governor Mario M. Cuomo, in 1985, to sit as a Member of his World Trade Council to advise him on international policy and world trade affairs. She has served, for the past sixteen years, as a Member of the Commercial Panel of The American Arbitration Association where she is an acknowledged specialist in the field of telecommunications and medical relations. She is an Associate Member of the American Bar Association where she serves as a Specialist on their Dispute Resolution Panel. She sits, also, as a Director of the Burden Center for the Aging.

   In 1990, she was appointed to the Advisory Board of the New York University College of Dentistry by Dean Edward G. Kaufman and has served in that capacity for eight years.

   Dr. Loren was presented with The Woman of Achievement Award by the Y.W.C.A. in 1983 and was the recipient, in 1987, of the OTTY Award presented by the County of New York for her significant contribution to the betterment of life in New York City. For her work in international communications and medicine, Dr. Loren, a graduate of Columbia University, received, in 1988, the Woman of Vision Award from the University of Madrid, from which she holds a Doctorate.

  LOREN COMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL maintains offices throughout South America and has recently opened Brazil’s first Commuter Airline…LorenAire…in the State of Para in Northern Brazil. The airline transports business people and cargo, and carries patients who need more sophisticated care to the larger cities with their better equipped Medical Centers.

  Dr. Loren lectures often at Universities and Medical Centers around this country and South America and represents the Government and the International Division of the Department of Commerce at Business Conferences and Seminars throughout the United States.
