Crain’s Detroit health care reporter Greene retires

Jay Greene

Jay Greene, a senior reporter at Crain’s Detroit Business covering health care and insurance, is retiring.

Greene has been at the paper since February 2008 and has also covered energy and the environment.

“We’ll miss his deep sourcing and insight that set a standard for health coverage in metro Detroit,” wrote executive editor Kelley Root. “His dispatches during the COVID-19 pandemic helped make sense of chaotic times for Michigan hospitals as they struggled to cope with a frightening new virus.”

He previously was a reporter covering medical education for American Medical News and a reporter covering hospitals and emergency medicine for Modern Healthcare, another Crain publication.

Greene also worked at the Bradenton Herald in Florida.
