Susan Caille Emerson, 1951–2019

June 4, 2019 by Barbara Goodheart, ELS

Susan Caille Emerson

We have lost our publisher, Sue Emerson. It happened on April 18, following a short illness.

The regulation, 42 CFR Part 2, has been chipped away at, allowing various exceptions, such as for the vaguely … [Read more...] about 42 CFR Part 2 Still Under Threat
