For the last year, the HealthNewsList has distributed unique information and resources to your mailbox! (And for nearly 3 years before that, under a different name and as a public service.) I hope it has been a useful tool. Our work to improve health care delivery across the country and the world is not complete and I hope the following links will help you in your important efforts. A special thanks to those of you who passed on announcements to share with this list. In the meantime, I will be embarking on several new projects including some work in the political world. I hope our paths cross virtually or in-person. Best Always, Laura [The HealthNewsList@aol.com address has been retired.]
