ADVISORY/Intel Chairman Dr. Andrew S. Grove and Dr. C. Everett Koop to Hold News Conference on Tuesday, Oct. 27.

--(BW HealthWire)--

WHAT:     Intel Corporation Chairman Dr. Andrew S. Grove and former
          U.S. Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop will present a new
          vision of Internet-enabled health care at Intel's Internet
          Health Day, Tue., Oct. 27, 1998, in San Francisco. The
          Internet is dramatically changing consumer-driven industries
          such as banking, retailing and financial services by freeing
          access to information and enabling new business models for
          the distribution and sale of products and services. Grove
          and Koop will discuss why U.S. health care is the target of
          the next Internet revolution, in which U.S. consumers are
          empowered to receive health information, products and
          services via the Internet.

          A Grove keynote speech and a joint news conference with Koop
          are available to local media. The joint press conference
          will also be broadcast nationally via satellite and offered
          via audio conference for out-of-area news media.

WHEN:     Grove will give his keynote speech at 9 a.m. PST. A
          transcript will be available shortly afterward in the
          Internet Health Day virtual press kit at
          www.intel.com/pressroom/kits/events/9810ihd.htm.

          The joint news conference with Grove and Koop will begin at

          feed to national TV, with B-roll feed. Coordinates:
