About

Flesh and Stone is a public interest news site delivering independent reporting on health care and science news, trends, and commentary. We look at how medical and scientific discoveries are influenced by politics and the economy. Our goals are simply to inform and educate, and provide a public space for health and science policy discussions that may influence positive policy changes. 

Our sources are experts in their fields. Contributors are writers, physicians, researchers and patients providing different perspectives on the issues. We envision a site where contributors and readers can share views and ideas in an open dialogue free of outside influence.

The information provided on Flesh and Stone is designed to support, not replace, the relationship that exists between patients and their health care providers.

Please add your comments or insights at the end of the articles. Writers appreciate feedback, particularly when it is civil. Uncivil comments will be deleted.

Submissions are welcome! Please use the contact form to send story outlines. Completed articles can be emailed to fleshandstone-at-gmail-dot-com. Please include a brief bio. We will respond within 48 hours.
