Coverage takes in hospital mergers and acquisitions, insurer rate proceedings, drug company activity, medical device manufacturing news and the regulatory decisions that reshape how the industry operates. Reporting runs through Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo and Akron. Ohio hosts a concentration of major hospital systems and a substantial medical device manufacturing base, giving the healthcare industry an unusually large economic footprint relative to most states. Rural hospital pressures and the workforce questions around them have added a durable strand of coverage to what had been a predominantly urban-institution story.
