Jay Greene It’s challenging to be gracious to someone who publicly and privately disparaged my work, but I’m going to put my ego aside and acknowledge that the retirement of Jay Greene of Crain’s Detroit Business is a loss to Michigan health care journalism. Greene has been covering health care for so long that I suspect Hippocrates was one of his sources. He’s spent the last 13 years at Crain’s Detroit, and before that covered nonprofits for Crain’s Modern Healthcare, an industry bible. Greene’s institutional health care knowledge is unrivaled, not only in Michigan but across the country. He’s a stickler for detail, his reporting painstakingly accurate.

John Fox Despite a cacophony of calls from doctors and donors calling for his resignation and accusations that he’s compromised patient care, Beaumont Health CEO John Fox declared he will remain in his job “at least” two more years. The remarkable disclosure was buried at the bottom of a lengthy Crain’s Detroit Business story posted late Tuesday, declaring there were “no smoking guns” in the documents Beaumont filed with Michigan’s attorney general outlining the terms of its since-cancelled merger with Illinois-based Advocate Aurora. Crain’s said it obtained the so-called letter of intent after filing a Freedom of Information request and touted its “exclusive” interview with Fox.
