Senate Ballroom (2nd floor)

Last year, the Globe Spotlight Team exposed crippling financial practices at Steward Health Care, one of the nation’s largest, private-equity owned hospital chains, the immense human cost of that neglect and the government’s failure to prevent it. In this session, journalists will share the strategies behind their scoops, including how they were able to document the huge profits Steward generated for its investors and CEO, even as it starved its hospitals in ways that put some patients at deadly risk. They’ll also give tips on navigating sensitive stories and collaborating inside and outside of the newsroom. This session is sponsored by The Commonwealth Fund. SABEW retains control of content, including the topic and speaker selection, for all conference sessions.
