Aclaim Media is an independent publication covering the people and organizations shaping healthcare in the United States. We write about hospital systems, community health networks, payers, and the technology companies serving them, with a focus on the leaders making the operational decisions patients eventually feel.
We publish three formats. Featured Profiles are in-depth conversations with healthcare executives about the work they do and the calls they have made. Industry Analysis takes a position on a market shift and walks the reader through the evidence. News Commentary is short-form perspective on policy and category news from inside the industry.
Our editorial standards are simple and explicit. We disclose when a story is part of a partner program. We name sources unless safety, retaliation, or regulatory exposure requires otherwise. We do not quote anyone without their on-the-record consent. We do not run pieces for which an executive or a vendor has approval rights over the final copy.
CMOs, COOs, and system executives running multi-site operations.
Founders and operators building the infrastructure layer of care delivery.
Virtual and in-person providers serving employer and Medicaid populations.
Safety-net operators working at the intersection of clinical care and policy.
Plan executives shaping reimbursement, network, and member experience.
The federal, state, and regulatory decisions that move the operating environment.

Editorial decisions are not subject to advertiser or executive approval. We publish what reporting supports, even when it is uncomfortable for sources.
Stories published as part of our Executive Partner Program carry a footer disclosure on the article itself. No exceptions.
