Just what we need, an even Dentzer Health Affairs

by Peter Pitts

No, really.

Health Affairs has announced that the NewsHour's Susan Dentzer will become the journal’s new editor-in-chief on May 1, 2008.

“It’s a great honor to be taking the reins at Health Affairs after John Iglehart and Jamie Robinson have done so much to make it the preeminent health policy journal of our time,” Dentzer said. “I’m delighted to become part of Project HOPE, and I look forward to working with the journal’s talented staff to continue to bring the best thinking and writing to bear on the top domestic and global health issues confronting us all.

Dentzer also serves on the Kaiser Commission on the Future of Medicaid and the Uninsured, and she is a member of the national advisory committee for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Investigator Awards in Health Policy Research. From 1993 to 2004, Dentzer was a member of the board of trustees for her alma mater, Dartmouth College, and she chaired the board from 2001 through 2004. As a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University in 1986 and 1987, Dentzer studied political economy, health economics, and business at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard Business School, and the Harvard School of Public Health.

Good luck Susan.
