Health Matters: Stories of Science, Care & Wellness

To say there's a lot going on at NewYork-Presbyterian would be an understatement. The city's largest healthcare system is rife with heartfelt stories, incredible scientists on the verge of major discoveries, and caring clinicians who want to help people stay healthy, among many other things. Health Matters launched in the spring of 2017 and has since won several awards for both its content and design.

In partnership with PACE Communications, the NYP editorial team mines its coffers to highlight amazing patient stories, outstanding employees, tips from NYP experts -- covering all of which is truly a team effort. I was lucky to have a hand in creating some of the great articles on Health Matters during my time at NYP.
