Description

Join The Charlotte Ledger and NC Health News teams on January 25 - drinks and appetizers on us! We're celebrating our unique partnership launched just over a year ago for the sole purpose of bringing you responsible, independent coverage of health care trends, policy, and providers in Mecklenburg County. - Hear from and chat with veteran reporter Michelle Crouch and editors Tony Mecia (Ledger) and Rose Hoban (Health News) about major trends in local journalism and health care. We'll even preview a story or two in the works! - Get a behind-the-scenes look at how we develop stories on complex issues like medical debt or the state's mental health crisis that personally impact so many of our friends and loved ones.  - Take the mic to shape our reporting in the year to come. What health care stories should we know about?  What do you find confusing about the health care industry that we could help untangle? Would you like to share any experiences with our local health care system? You’ll also learn how you can support independent health care coverage in Mecklenburg County. (Ok - it's not brain surgery and we're into transparency: NC Health News accepts donations year-round for this partnership, so we can continue reporting on your behalf. We'll remind you on the 25th, but a donation is not required to attend.) Hope you'll come through for an informal and fun catch-up - drinks (alcoholic and non), charcuterie and healthy appetizers are on us. Let us know if we might see you!
