Important Announcements
Happy Veterans' Day! Be sure to thank a veteran today for their service!
My goal has always been constant. It is to challenge the conventional coverage and access arguments we hear in healthcare.
I want to take this time to note that I will now be offering consulting services exclusively in A.I. healthcare for clients. I figured after 60+ editions that now is the time to start monetizing my knowledge. Do not worry the newsletter will remain free. Please direct message me for more information.
I will also be providing my thoughts and analyses to paid subscribers on the "AI Healthcare Substack". If you are a paid subscriber, you can read the entire thing. If you are a free subscriber, you can read a portion.
The "AI Healthcare Substack" is here: https://aihealthcarethoughts.substack.com/
