7 September Issue: The September issue of Becker's Hospital Review includes a list of the 10 most and least concentrated hospital markets, along with a feature exploring how Cleveland Clinic's first Chief Caregiver Officer Kelly Hancock, DNP, RN, is supporting 70,000 employees during the pandemic. It also contains a timeline of how researchers' understanding of airborne COVID-19 transmission has evolved, an article detailing 12 interesting health IT partnerships in 2020, and a conversation with two executives from Winston-Salem, N.C.- based Novant Health about their $5 billion commitment and partnership with New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, N.C. Readers will also find a feature that walks through the daily routine of Peter Fine, president and CEO of Phoenix-based Banner Health, and a Corner Office interview with Cliff Robertson, MD, CEO of Omaha, Neb.-based CHI Health. I hope you enjoy reading. The September issue also includes several stories about how hospitals and health systems are responding to and recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as studies that may help providers better understand the virus. This widespread pandemic is unprecedented and moves quickly. As a result, Becker's Hospital Review sought to include pandemic news in this issue that will remain relevant when the print magazine hits readers' mailboxes.
