Issue: January 13, 2011
Be well
In our annual Health Issue, we take a look at some hot topics in the field
of health care, such as discussing end-of-life decisions, the
state-of-the-art new tower going up at Enloe, and how Oroville Hospital is
handling paper records (it's cooler than you think). It's not just our
Feature package that deals with health issues, however. In Newslines,
Stacey Kennelly talks to two young, uninsured victims of violent crimes to
see how they're dealing with overwhelming medical bills; in the Green
Guide, Christine G.K. LaPado checks in with Robb Wolf, author of the
best-selling Paleo Solution.
Enjoy!
