from the Publisher Greater Boston Publisher: Michael Jones H APPY NEW YEAR! WELCOME TO THE first 2014 issue of MD News Greater Boston. Our cover story this month revisits a story we've been covering off and on for the past five years — the Greater Boston continuing growth of Compass Medical PC. The brand MJONES@MDNEWS.COM new location that opened this past fall in Quincy was 508-888-1502 the fourth expansion we've seen in the last several years, with similar state-of-the-art facilities having previously been opened in East Bidgewater, Easton and Middleborough. In interviews with CEO Jamie Barber and President George Clairmont, MD, we examine how this continuing growth has positioned Compass Medical for success in an ever-changing healthcare landscape. In other stories this month, we examine what 2014 holds for our local and national medical communities by zooming in on the latest industry trends. In our national feature, we discuss mobile technology and how it has already changed the manner in which patients seek information about their health, as well as different ways physicians and hospitals can respond to ensure better care for their communities. We also consider how changes in medicine are affecting physician employment. Our clinical feature for January highlights current issues in mental health. Specifically, we feature the benefits, challenges and possibilities of a more thorough assimilation of behavioral health care into primary care settings. Whatever your personal or professional resolutions may be this year, I hope the information you find in MD News helps bring you closer to your goals. If connecting with the local medical community could help further your business pursuits, contact me at mjones@mdnews.com or 508-888-1502 to discuss potential opportunities.
