Trudy Lieberman, contributing editor/columnist for Columbia Journalism Review, has been appointed a fellow at the Center for Advancing Health. Lieberman, AHCJ’s immediate past president, will contribute content to The Prepared Patient Forum, a Web site that will be launched next month to help consumers navigate the increasingly complex health care system.
Lieberman will focus on the topic of paying for health care, including Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, commercial insurance policies, and other private sector ways to pay for care. She will follow the implementation of health insurance reform activities and help people learn how to use and benefit from options created by the newly passed legislation.
Lieberman will continue her CJR duties, which include blogging about journalism coverage of health issues. She was most recently director of the health and medical reporting program at the Graduate School of Journalism, City University of New York.
The Center for Advancing Health runs the Health Behavior News Service, intended to “translate complex scientific evidence into information that will ensure that each person can make good decisions about their health care.” CFAH is a independent nonprofit organization supported by a number of foundations.
