As the year draws to a close, we want to give our readers the chance to take a look back at what we – the reporting staff – consider our best stories of 2013.
They range from taking a look at hospital executive pay, to problems facing parents of disabled children to restrictions on practitioners by Regence BlueCross BlueShield.
Thanks for being such faithful readers! We look forward to bringing you more provocative and in-depth articles in the coming year.
And, if you’ve got a story you’d like to tell, please drop us a line at [email protected].
Also look for our new designed website in mid-January where you’ll find a jobs board, a weekly calendar of health policy events, volunteer and internship opportunities – all with a new look.
Meanwhile, here’s a look back at what we consider our best work.
