Clinical Newsletter—fall 2020

 

Fall 2020


 

A new look and feel for clinical news and updates
Welcome to the all-new clinical newsletter, The Pulse at CMC. Formerly called McGregor Street Journal, The Pulse has expanded to include relevant information for all those involved in clinical care at CMC, not just providers. We’ve updated the content, the look, and the delivery. We’re hoping you enjoy the electronic format, with easy-to-reference content at your fingertips. 

CMC Pulse is a collaborative effort, so if you have an article or feedback to submit, please reach out to the Office of Medical Staff Affairs. You can email Joy Bellemare or Dr. Michael Gilbert. Enjoy this first issue!
