As you have probably figured out by the new look here at hospital impact, we have made some big changes. As I eluded to in an earlier post, I am excited to announce that the Hospital Impact blog is now a part of the FierceMarkets family. For those visiting for the first time, welcome! Read about us.

How We Decided to Team Up
After 3+ years of blogging, I've realized that Hospital Impact has become a great, fresh "hospital leader" perspective, one that is still very much needed in our industry. I have been getting the FierceHealthcare daily email newsletter for almost 3 years now, and have found them to be filled with great tidbits and even new business ideas. Those newsletters have even occasionally linked to posts here on the blog. With their fresh approach in delivering healthcare news and Hospital Impact's emphasis on the "insider" perspective and analysis, we think it's a great match going forward. For me, it's also a realization that Hospital Impact can be so much better with me out of the way and just involved with the work I enjoy most about it - the writing itself.

What This All Means for You
