The vice president of Heron Therapeutics, physician Dr. Erol Onel has enjoyed a successful career in both the clinical and pharmaceutical aspects of medicine. Throughout the years, Dr. Erol Onel has demonstrated his ongoing commitment to the advancement of medicine and advocacy of health care professionals through membership in numerous organizations, including the American Medical Association (AMA).

Even though health care is constantly advancing the ways in which it brings services to patients, there are still some who fall between the cracks. That’s why the AMA is joining some of the country’s other premier medical organizations to support the Human Diagnosis Project--an online platform that will connect doctors directly with patients in underserved areas.
Through this effort, the AMA and others are working to make health care easier to afford and access with the help of technology. Over the next five years, the project hopes to reach some 30 million patients in need and eventually will expand its reach worldwide.
