Experience

Taking the scary, confusing, and complicated out of healthcare information is Ginny's specialty. Ginny was editor of an award-winning healthcare magazine for five years.
And as a senior writer for Kaiser Permanente, a health maintenance organization, for more than a decade, she wrangled health topics ranging from managing diabetes to lifesaving surgical techniques. Her thorough and engaging articles help healthcare consumers understand their symptoms and care options – and sometimes even gain some tidbits of trivia about their condition.
