December Issue. This issue of Becker's Hospital Review
includes a feature exploring what innovation looks like at
Houston Methodist, along with a state-by-state breakdown of
22 hospital closures. The issue also contains a look at how a
Boston safety-net hospital defied expectations by raising $450
million, a discussion on embedding diversity and inclusion
into an organization with Carl Armato, president and CEO
of Winston-Salem, N.C.-based Novant Health, and a Corner
Office interview with Paul King, president and CEO of Stanford
Children's Health, based in Palo Alto, Calif. I hope you enjoy
reading!
