from the Publisher REETINGS! THANKS FOR picking up the March 2014 issue of MD News Greater Boston. Our cover story this month takes a look at Vibra Healthcare, which recently expanded its footprint in the state and now offers services from New Bedford to Springfield. Our interviews with four of the physicians heading up the clinical offerings give an insight into what this expansion means for area physicians and their patients. Our special clinical section focuses on orthopedics. We examine the ways bone fracture risk and Type 2 diabetes are linked. And speaking of orthopedics, our feature on Southcoast VNA's Home Care Orthopedic Specialty Program offers insight into an important aspect of recovery – helping patients move seamlessly across the care spectrum. The program serves over 650 patients each year from all over southeastern Massachusetts and even into Rhode Island. In every issue, we seek to bring you the latest news from the local medical community, as well as insight into emerging research and trends on the national front. This month, we feature cognitive research suggesting that the placebo effect may be even stronger than we know. It seems the "power of positive thinking" is formidable in the healthcare realm. I hope you find these and all the articles in MD News engaging and relevant. Please contact me at mjones@ mdnews.com or 508-888-1502 if you'd like to discuss topics for future issues.
