This will be
the final column written by Lee-Lee Prina -- long the voice and dedicated editor behind Health Affairs' regular GrantWatch section – who retires this week.
During her more than thirty years on this beat, Lee-Lee expanded GrantWatch from a journal-only feature, adding commentary and analyses from grantmakers on Health Affairs Blog -- now Health Affairs Forefront.

Elevating Voices: Women’s History Month: In the June 2021 issue of Health Affairs, Sara Edmond describes her experience testing positive for COVID-19 one day before a scheduled cesarean delivery and facing judgment and questioning of her behavior by hospital staff.
As a clinical health psychologist specializing in patient-provider communication, Edmond explains, "Shame-induced stigma is an ineffective tool for
motivating behavior change and does not encourage future risk reduction, and most health care providers should know this."
