January Issue. Becker's Hospital Review is pleased to present
the first issue of 2020, which includes a feature exploring
how Indianapolis-based IU Health is giving nurses a voice in
leadership decisions and a discussion with David Pate, MD, the
retiring CEO of Boise, Idaho-based St. Luke's Health System, on
his decadelong tenure. The issue also contains a state-by-state
breakdown of 19 hospital bankruptcies, a list of 11 hospitals
that have rebranded and a Corner Office interview with Janice
Nevin, MD, CEO of Newark, Del-based ChristianaCare. I hope
you enjoy reading.
