Wall Street Journal reporter Melanie Evans has left the news organization for Tradeoffs, a nonprofit news organization focused on health policy.

She will start on Nov. 18.

Evans covered the hospital industry for The Journal in New York. She reported on the business of running hospitals, healthcare quality and the ways technology is changing both.

Her stories focused on how hospitals set prices and collect bills and the Covid-19 pandemic. She also routinely covered hospital consolidation, use of patient data in medicine and business development, and ways the hospital industry is changing as more medical care is delivered elsewhere.

Prior to joining the Journal in 2016, Evans covered hospitals and healthcare care at Modern Healthcare and the Duluth (Minn.) News Tribune.
