The UC Office of the President has just launched a UC Health news Web site/e-newsletter at http://universityofcalifornia.edu/sites/uchealth. The new site spotlights health stories and updates from UCOP as well as health news and features from the UC medical centers and campuses.

Read a Q&A with Dr. John Stobo, UC senior vice president for health sciences and services. Learn about UC's new systemwide initiative to fight breast cancer. See why a UC biologist won a Nobel Prize in medicine. Find out what UC is doing to prepare for H1N1. And coming soon: a calendar of UC Health-related events.

The site aims to inform and engage employees about UC Health, build awareness about the breadth and impact of the enterprise, and create a sense of shared pride. After all, UC runs the country's largest health sciences training program and our five academic medical centers and 10 hospitals provide care that earns the highest national rankings.

The site will be updated regularly. Also, you can subscribe to receive monthly notices of the latest UC Health news. To subscribe, please send your name and e-mail address to Alec Rosenberg, UCOP coordinator of health science communications, at alec.rosenberg@ucop.edu.
