Here is everything you need to know about our new blog, D Healthcare Daily, which will cover the business of (surprise) healthcare in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. A quick primer before you click: it’s led by Stephn B. Jacob, author of Healthcare in 2020: Where Uncertain Reform, Bad Habits, Too Few Doctors, and Skyrocketing Costs Are Taking Us, and formerly a publisher with the Star-Telegram, where he also wrote nationally syndicated healthcare columns by the McClatchy Tribune News Service. He’s an adjunct faculty member at UNT’s School of Public Health. The site has more than 30 contributing editors (and growing) and will have daily news stories (hence the name) and three weekly e-newsletters: D Healthcare Digest, D Healthcare MD (for physicians), D Healthcare PM (for practice managers). The site’s advisory council is after the jump, along with Thompson Twins’ “Doctor, Doctor.”
