Let’s take a look at our health coverage

Support Dallas Observer so we can bring you even more

Hi, The newsroom staff at Dallas Observer is always hard at work bringing you a large variety of news and vital information you need to know locally. That's why, when topics make national headlines, we find ways to bring the story home and show how it affects you.  For example, the price of healthcare, the large portion of the population who lack insurance and the broader issue of government trust and transparency came together in staffer Austin Wood's recent cover story "Hello, Doctor. Anyone There?" In it, he took an in-depth look at a novel telehealth service that would have brought low-cost medical care to Garland, a community that lacks a hospital but has many uninsured people. Poor communication, distrust of city leaders and private business and an unusual financing method doomed the program. But no matter whether the story is about health, rising prices, or politics, if you're invested in it, our staff stands ready to commit their time to reporting. Regardless of the issues and coverage areas, if the story is important to you, it's important to us. We still want to provide you with our other projects, series and more throughout the year. But in order to do so — and at a high level — we need your help. As an independent newsroom that relies on our readers' financial support, your funds will help us bring this kind of work to life. And our reporters work to be useful for you in the moment and beyond. Will you contribute to us today? Let's level up together With runoff and Congressional elections ahead in a pivotal year, there will be many important topics that touch you, your family and your wallet. We're proud to report on those issues for you today and tomorrow. Thank you so much for helping do that. Best Regards, Kelly Dearmore News Editor Love Dallas Observer?
