Our News Mission

We offer objective news on the business of healthcare through the lens of the clinical, operational and financial forces shaping care and care delivery. Our audience is made up of leaders across healthcare, from cardiology to radiology, healthcare IT to healthcare leadership, and AI to machine learning.

We provide data, information, trends and expert opinions. We seek to offer a diverse set of voices and experiences to offer ideas and insight for leaders innovating, elevating and improving healthcare for patients, populations, providers and provider organizations. We believe in full separation between objective news and marketing content that seeks to generate awareness and revenue. We are storytellers always looking to share actionable information that can make healthcare better.

Our Team

Our editorial team of journalists every day provides objective, in-depth and insightful coverage of news, clinical studies, research, policy and trends shaping healthcare. We invite you to send us a message if you’re looking to reach our reporters and editors.
