I am eager to share some exciting news with the Health Imaging community! Starting tomorrow, HI will be merging with our sister brand, Radiology Business. Your newsletters might look a little different soon, but they will still be filled with the inside news and updates you’ve come to expect from HI (and more). I'm excited to take on this new venture alongside a bigger, more diverse team of talented writers and editors to deepen our coverage of all things pertinent to the imaging community.  

I hope you'll stick around to see all that our team has to offer, and I look forward to continuing to serve as the brand’s clinical voice.
