Below are
links to selected DJP Updates, a newsletter I send
frequently to those on the list. These DJP Updates go
to over 2100 leaders in Medicine representing all of
the State Medical Associations and over 100 Specialty
Societies plus some other friends. These newsletters
have been in operation for over 10 years and have the
potential to reach 800,000 physicians because of
sharing.
I have put some samples here. As you might imagine,
there is much discussion about health system reform in
Congress.
Also, drop by and sign up for my DJPNEWS on Twitter.
