Although I haven’t been with you long, dear readers of SBM, I have an important announcement to make.  I have a brand spankin’ new blog: Getting Better With Dr. Val. I used to blog at “Dr. Val and the Voice of Reason” at Revolution Health – so essentially this is a URL change. You can read the press release here.

If you’ve never read my “regular” blog – it’s an interesting blend of medical expert and celebrity interviews, true stories, health news, cartoons, and Washington policy and advocacy news. It’s written for both lay and professional readers and offers to educate and entertain.

Thank you for enduring this public service announcement. And now back to your regular scheduled programming… (see you Thursday morning!)
