For patients and doctors, insurance prior authorization can be a dangerous game | Opinion
Doctors trying to get patients necessary drugs and procedures stymied by health insurance prior authorization. It's not a game. It's life and death.

Healthcare Workers vs Hunger
Healthcare workers vs Hunger is an annual friendly competition between teams of healthcare workers to help relieve food insecurity.

Legit each year #HcwVSHunger gives me joyful tears AT LEAST ONCE.
So far we've worked together to raise over $3 MILLION to help feed people over the holidays. Our work is more important than ever.
Nobody is coming to save us. The onus is on us to do EVERYTHING in our power to help our fellow man.
