VCH News in 2013
2013 was a busy year for you and an active year for VCH News. We redesigned the VCH News web site and added the ability for you to comment on articles.
Activity up in 2013
A comparison shows that you visited VCH News about 4% less, but spent 68% more time per visit and clicked on 93% more articles than during the same period in 2012.

What do the numbers mean?
We like to think this means that while the number of staff who read VCH News hasn’t really changed, those who do read are finding it more engaging than before—hence more time on the site and more articles viewed. Yay.
Is it all roses?
Umm… no. We’ve had some pesky technical glitches that have made it hard for you to access VCH News sometimes. Sorry about that. We’re working to fix it.
What’s next?
We’re not about to let success stop us. We’re working on more changes to make VCH News even better. Watch for that in the next couple months.
