A Q&A with Dr. Jack Wennberg about the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care Project John Wennberg, M.D., Ph.D., is the founding director of Dartmouth's Center for the Evaluative Clinical Sciences (CECS) and the Peggy Y. Thomson Professor of the Evaluative Clinical Sciences. CECS was established in 1989 and is the locus for a diverse group of scientists and clinician-scholars who conduct cutting edge research on critical medical and health issues with the goal of measuring, organizing, and improving the health-care system. The Center also publishes The Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care, which demonstrates striking variations in how health care is delivered across the United States. To learn more about Wennberg's and CECS's work read "The state of the nation's health." This is a web extra to an article that appeared in the Spring 2007 issue of Dartmouth Medicine Magazine.
