Hi Donna,
Lee Haroun here, co-author of Introduction to Health Care, the text you are currently editing. Your comments, including suggested content changes and updates, have been spot-on — probably the best copy editing I’ve seen on any of my textbooks over the years.
Thanks so much for the great work!
Lee Haroun

Cheers, Donna
