Rosemarie Beltz

“

“Rose is the real deal.”

“Smart, energetic, thorough, curious, and trustworthy are words that I would rapid-fire use to describe Rosemarie Beltz and her approach to life, learning, medicine, and medical reporting.

Rose is the real deal. As a medical professional affiliated with the best hospitals in the country and as a medical journalist, she understands more than anyone how important accurate and trustworthy health information is. Her straightforward New Yorker approach to conversations is refreshing and disarming.

Rose is exactly what we need more of—a trusted knowledgeable professional focused on cutting through the noise and breaking down complicated and important health issues.”

Julie EisenmanPresident and General Manager, WNEP — PA

“Hey, you got a minute?”

“I heard that exact question from Rose dozens of times in the time I worked with her. She learned a lot in a short amount of time and was always eager to learn more, and I was always happy to oblige. I wish EVERYONE looked to improve their skills with the enthusiasm that Rose does.”

Brett AllberyPhotojournalist, KREM2-TV

“Rosemarie is an impressive person.”

“She’s a successful healthcare professional who has made the switch to Journalism. It’s a brave move, done with all her heart and soul.

While still a student she’s come up with terrific ideas for her Master’s project, breaking ground in health reporting. As an intern at NBC News, she pitched and reported 3 solo by-line stories.

She’s dedicated, motivated, smart and tenacious. I highly recommend her.”

“I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with Rosemarie Beltz.”

“I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with Rosemarie Beltz for the past year in the capacity of Regional Director and Clinical Peer. Rose was hired by me, as a per-diem clinical perfusionist, assisting a dynamic cardiac surgical team, covering a variety of complex surgical cases.

She has shown clinical expertise, self-motivation, attention to detail, the ability to multi-task, and the ability to make quick decisions in the most critical of situations. She is tenacious, hard–working, dedicated, and always ready to lend a hand and volunteer to help, even after having worked a 16 hour day.”

Patricia A. Travassos, C.C.P.Senior Cardiovascular Perfusionist & Western Regional Director, Comprehensive Care Services, Las Vegas, Nevada

“It is clear to me that you have what it takes to excel at reporting.”

“You are intrepid, energetic, and well organized. You are willing to take on unfamiliar material and talk to strangers. You are willing to hunt for prospective sources in pursuit of news. Your resolutely positive attitude will serve you well as a journalist. You come across as naturally inquisitive, not a journalist out to dig dirt or play “gotcha!” I have no doubt that you will find sources revealing things to you that they would not tell another journalist. This is not a small matter. It’s a major asset.”
