Health care publications written/edited by HealthEditInk principals
During my career, I have done work on virtually all major health care policy
issues, developing a familiarity with them that ensures accurate, insightful,
and timely completion of projects.  My publications have targeted a variety
of audiences worldwide, from the lay public to corporations, policy makers
and academics. This has included writing and/or editing books, pamphlets,
conference proceedings, international newsletters and dozens of corporate
reports for top management. Some of the proceedings and newsletters
have won awards.

My experience includes not only writing and editing for native English
speakers (American and British styles), but also for those whose mother
tongue is not English.

A list of examples of projects appears below.  Copies of most of these are
available on request.  For the most recent, click here.
