Rounding up my content over the course of 2024

PARTNERED WITH Happy Monday Hospitalogists!   I'm sending today due to the holiday, and you won't be hearing from me on the 26. I hope you all have a restful holiday season.   One quick request: send me your favorite piece of healthcare content from the year. It can be anything - a longform, study, tweet, video...I think it would be cool to highlight different mediums and folks doing content creation / analysis in healthcare. PR people, sit this one out unless it's genuine. I can always tell when it's you :) Was this email forwarded to you?

It was a Jaydon Blue legacy game with the 77 yard TD in the fourth, followed by yet another Texas D goal line stand.
