Hope this message finds you doing well. I came across your boards on pinterest and am interested in being a contributor to Capture Billings: The business of healthcare, Healthcare reform, IT, and Infographics if possible. We are a site geared towards the business of medicine, health economics and finance. It would be great to join in the conversations as well.
