from the Publisher San Antonio Publisher: Cathleen Lane W Cathleen Lane PUBLISHER San Antonio CLANE@MDNEWS.COM (210) 859-1232 Managing Editor: Conner Armstrong issue of MD News San Antonio! ELCOME THE JUNE As our local population continues to grow, more women are looking for an OB/GYN practice they can feel comfortable with. Our cover feature focuses on Southwest General Hospital's all-female OB/GYN department, led by Nichole Van de Putte, M.D., and Leticia Vargas, M.D., M.B.A., two bilingual San Antonio natives whose cultural and regional backgrounds afford unique opportunities for building trust with patients. This issue also includes expert perspectives on practice management, with articles focusing on business growth, employee retention and EHR implementation. Further professional development reading is available on Page 15, where we highlight an upcoming CME opportunity on recognizing and responding to illegal drug-seeking in patients, as well as on Page 20, where we mention the Alamo City Cancer Council's 11th Annual Breast Cancer Update symposium. As always, MD News is your opportunity to update the San Antonio medical community on any news or information that you'd like to share. We always enjoy hearing from you! Thanks for reading!
