From the New York Times: “The author explores the history, culture and crucial importance of nurses…DiGregorio’s storytelling is pitch-perfect ….this is a brilliant book, and DiGregorio is a beautiful writer. Taking Care deserves to be on the reading list for nursing and medical schools, and on the bedside table of all politicians.”

She is also the author of Adventures in Slow Cooking: 120 Slow-Cooker Recipes for People Who Love Food and Early: An Intimate History of Premature Birth and What It Teaches Us about Being Human.  She is a journalist who has written on health care and other topics for the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Slate and Insider, among others.
