from the Publisher E L L O , P H Y S I C I A N S A N D healthcare leaders of Boston. Welcome to the September issue of MD News. Our cover story takes a look at women's health, specifi- cally the array of women's health services provided by Good Samaritan Medical Center. From prenatal services to cancer care, Good Samaritan Medical Center comple- ments its physicians with leading-edge technology and a network of support services to offer the full spectrum of women's care in a local, community setting. Also focusing on Steward Health Care is our story about the Pain Management Center at Norwood Hospital. It offers patients a comprehensive service that includes anesthesiologists, neurologists, nurse practitioners, psychologists, social workers, and registered nurses and medical assistants specifically trained to treat pain. Elsewhere in the issue, our feature article, "A Nation in Waiting (Rooms)," covers a patient-friendly trend. Healthcare providers are expanding the concept of care beyond the examination room to every area of patient contact — including the waiting area. We discuss ways to meet patients' needs during the interval before the nurse calls them in. MD News Greater Boston offers medical professionals an opportunity to communicate their insights and expertise with colleagues across the region.
