NOTE TO READERS: This is the final edition of Weekly News Digest you’ll be getting from me — although it will continue in capable new hands. Having kept it going six years after retiring from University Health, it’s time to actually retire. Beginning next Friday, the Digest will appear in your mailbox from Leni Kirkman, chief marketing, communications and corporate affairs officer with University Health (she'll have some help). Thanks for reading. — Don Finley
