Join us for the virtual launch of The Hospital: Life, Death, and Dollars in a Small American Town, journalist Brian Alexander’s latest book.

Alexander will be in conversation with Beth Macy

By following the struggle for survival of one small-town hospital, and the patients who walk, or are carried, through its doors, The Hospital takes readers into the world of the American medical industry in a way no book has done before. Americans are dying sooner, and living in poorer health. Alexander argues that no plan will solve America’s health crisis until the deeper causes of that crisis are addressed.
