Background of the Washington Healthcare News and Reader Demographic Information
"A simple 'congrats' for achieving a better publication issue after issue after issue; every single issue I have seen! Although this only represents a part of the sum, I very much indeed, look forward to looking at every issue in it's entirety..."

Background of the Washington Healthcare News
The Washington Healthcare News began in 2006 with the goal of providing valuable business oriented information to leaders of the northwest health care system. Distributed in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska, the News is an excellent resource for finding or posting a health care management job, finding consultants, attorneys and accountants that specialize in the northwest health care industry and learning about best practices in health care management.
The News is published monthly by David Peel in Kirkland, Washington. Prior to founding the Washington Healthcare News Mr. Peel held senior leadership positions at First Choice Health Network, Community Health Plan of Washington and KPS Health Plans. All three health care organizations have primary operations in the Northwest.
