Here at URAC, we're doing a lot to increase our visibility recently, which includes writing many of articles, social media posts, and press releases. You may know that we follow AP style, but in our writing we have wavered back and forth between using "health care" or "healthcare". So which is it?Luckily, the AP Stylebook has made an official ruling: it's "health care".

Moving forward, we'll be conscientious to use this in all of our written materials and will be updating our external resources, such as our Marketing Guidelines, accordingly. Please also be aware when writing your own materials, whether it be email blasts, press releases or other documents, that from now on we are in the "health care" space.
