Hello everyone! I have some exciting news to share with you today. I recently learned about some amazing milestones achieved by STAT over the past decade. From groundbreaking investigative reporting on Purdue Pharma’s marketing of OxyContin to leading the country in Covid coverage and shedding light on the Aduhelm Files, STAT has truly made a significant impact in the healthcare and medicine industry.

One of the highlights was STAT’s early coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic, with reporters being named Pulitzer Prize finalists for their insightful reporting. It’s incredible to see how their work has contributed to our understanding of the virus and its impact on our lives. And the recent news that Covid-19 has fallen out of the country’s top 10 causes of death is truly a testament to the progress we have made in fighting this global health threat.

Another noteworthy achievement was STAT’s investigative series, Denied by AI, which exposed how UnitedHealth Group used an unregulated algorithm to deny care to patients. This series had a significant impact, leading to Medicare stepping up audits and issuing new guidance on the use of AI tools in healthcare decisions. It’s inspiring to see how investigative journalism can drive positive change in the healthcare system.

Lastly, STAT’s coverage of President Trump’s impact on science and health policies has been crucial in keeping the public informed about the changes happening at the federal level. From vaccine policies to the impact on medical research, STAT has been at the forefront of reporting on these important issues. It’s important to stay informed about these developments that affect our healthcare system and the future of medicine.

I hope you found these updates as fascinating as I did. Stay tuned for more exciting news and updates in the healthcare industry. Remember to stay informed, stay healthy, and keep spreading positivity in your communities. Take care and see you next time!
