from the Publisher E L C O M E T O T H E April/May 2 0 14 i s s u e o f M D N e w s Greater Kansas. Our cover story features the Wesley Medical Center family of campuses, which includes Galichia Heart Hospital. Wesley has created several positions to help bridge the communication gap between hospitals, patients and their physicians. Join us as we feature these nurse navigators — healthcare experts who help patients find their way through the often-complex process of visits and treatments, answering any questions they might have. We also examine a Stanford University School of Medicine study addressing the potential to "awaken" ovarian tissue follicles and utilize hormones to stimulate egg development, a procedure that has led to healthy pregnancies among some Japanese women who had been infertile due to primary ovarian insufficiency. I look forward to your feedback, and I encourage you to follow MD News on Facebook and Twitter for between- issue insights. You can also join the local and regional conversation about these and other topics by emailing me at jnorris@mdnews.com, visiting greaterkansas. mdnews.com or calling 620-249-7462.
