TL;DR? Healthy Intersections focuses on the intersection of medical care and public health. Our academic, non-profit, volunteer-run blog is sponsored by the peer-reviewed journal Medical Care and the Medical Care Section of the American Public Health Association. We are a project of the same editorial team as The Medical Care Blog (since 2014). Our listeners, viewers, readers, and contributors care about clinical care, the healthcare system, and the health policies and public health issues that intersect with these areas.
