Perspectives on Health Care

Dr. Rod Hochman

Welcome to Perspectives in Health Care, a quarterly series brought to you from the desk of Rod Hochman, M.D. The purpose of this series is to provide a point of view on various aspects of the future health care.

I believe a region as innovative as the Pacific Northwest has the potential to be a driving force in health-care reform. This quarterly series of letters is an opportunity to share my perspective on how we might work together to achieve that.

Please join me as we examine a number of issues that impact the future of health care.
