Minnesota 05-838 from the Publisher ELLO, MINNESOTA HEALTH CARE! Welcome to the latest issue of MD News Minnesota edition. I hope you had a great holiday season and are enjoying the start of the new year! This time of the year always brings reflection and anticipation of what's ahead. I am thankful to all businesses, physicians and staff that made 2014 such a great year for MD News. Being part of such a fantastic healthcare community and playing a small role in sharing and communicating the quality of care and expertise available in Minnesota via MD News has been great. The year ahead will bring more insight about local healthcare organizations, physicians and healthcare executives. If you would like to be involved or would like to reach this targeted group, please give us a call! This month we feature a joint effort to improve care for the elderly. Bluestone Physician Services, HealthEast Medical Lab and Professional Portable X-ray are working collaboratively to provide the necessary care in a convenient way for elderly patients. Read in the cover story about how these three businesses put the need of the patient first and how they see the value of working together. It's a great story to start the new year. We also add a new Healthcare Law column and will be speaking with Larry Schaefer from Schaefer Halleen on a variety of legal issues physicians are facing today. In addition to our Financial column with Paradigm Wealth, our business service columns are growing and offering great information to our readers. Moving into 2015, here is a quick preview of our monthly topics. If you would like to be represented in MD News this year, please give me a call, and we can chat!
