I want to give a shout-out to four members of the DPC News Team who assembled down in Costa Rica. I know it is a hardship to be there in that beautiful weather as they attend the DPC Alliance event but it looks like they are surviving.
Pictured from left to right are Emily O’Rourke, Andrew Anderson, Shane Purcell, and Dan Swartz. Great writers, great docs, and great people. I hope they come back with some extra advice to share here.
The next DPC News gathering will be at the DPC Summit in July. There will be even more of us there so say hello. How will you recognize us? I’m not sure. Damn, now I need to think about this. Hats, shirts, decoder rings? Hmmm.
