I’m honored and excited to step into the role of Editor in Chief at Healthcare Purchasing News (HPN). For nearly five decades, HPN has been a go-to resource for professionals across supply chain management, surgical services, sterile processing, infection prevention, and product evaluation. To be part of that tradition is a privilege. 

My career in journalism and B2B healthcare media has been driven by telling meaningful stories that connect people and help industries move forward. For the past several years, I’ve had the opportunity to report on challenges from pandemic response to supply chain resiliency. These experiences have deepened my respect for the professionals who keep healthcare running, often behind the scenes. 

At HPN, I look forward to building on its trusted legacy by continuing to deliver prompt, insightful, and actionable content. Whether it’s through the pages of our magazine, daily digital updates, or in-person events, my goal is to ensure HPN stays a valuable resource and a strong voice for the community we serve. 

This fall will be a season of new beginnings for me, both professionally and personally. In September, I’ll also be marrying my fiancée, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the chance to celebrate that milestone while stepping into this exciting new role with HPN.

We will listen to our readers, connect with experts across the field, and shine a light on innovations and challenges alike. I welcome your ideas and feedback as we take HPN into its next chapter.
