🏥 Hospitalogy 2022 Choice Awards

My favorite 10 content pieces from 2022

Happy Thursday!   As we make our way through the holiday season, I hope you're finding some rest entering 2023. This newsletter will be a much more light send focused on my favorite read content from other healthcare creators and sites, then we'll top it off with my top performing pieces from the year!   Also, a bit of housekeeping - next week, my Tuesday send will not publish (enjoy the break you healthcare degenerates). Then on Thursday, I'll be dropping a Hospitalogy Wrapped - AKA, what went right, what went wrong in 2022 and what to expect from Hospitalogy for 2023. In the short term, here's what to expect over the next 2 weeks: Hospitalogy Wrapped - 12/29 Expect a predictions piece from Parth Desai (with some really intriguing predictions) and me on 1/3 My healthcare year in review will publish on 1/5 (all of the top stories from across healthcare in one post) Let's get into it!
