John R. Christiansen. John is a Seattle healthcare lawyer who focuses on information technology, privacy and security issues. He’s been doing this since before there was a HIPAA, and is nonetheless unable to prevent his spellchecker from trying to change it to “HIPPA.” John is the newly elected Secretary of the Health Law Section Executive Committee, and looking forward to helping build the Section into a valuable resource for Washington health care lawyers.
John spends as much time as he can on Orcas Island – which, alas, isn’t as much as he’d like – and is currently typing this while sharing a chair with his cute but demanding Pug puppy.
