In the current newsletter, I read Priti's comments about how few of us are bothering to read our own newsletter, and it was hard for me to believe. Maybe it's a bit easier to believe now. She writes: "On a sobering note, even the “Wow” September issue was read by about 21 percent (n=1,637) of members who identify CHPPD as their primary section. The newsletter statistics combines numbers of readers who click on the newsletter link that does not require a password, and those that do access the newsletter from the members-only page. Hence the number of visitors includes those who may not even be APHA members." Read Your Newsletter! This letter was written in response to an exchange among members urging to participate in Citizens' Health Care Working Group's public hearings. John Steen brought members’ attention to the article Citizen’s Health Care Working Group published in the Fall 2005 CHPPD newsletter.
