Kate Wolffe

Health Care Reporter

I’m interested in how health care policy impacts Sacramento and California, who gets access to care and the issues facing health care providers.

It’s no secret that health care in the United States is complicated. My hope is to shed light on stories of people trying to get care and the experiences of those providing treatment.

I believe that all people can and should be truth-seekers, and I can’t do this reporting without the help of the community.

Is there a story about health care in Sacramento that you think should be told? Thanks for sharing!
