H A N K Y O U V E R Y much for r e a d i n g t h e N o v e m b e r – December edition of MD News. Once again, we examine the world-class health care available right here in Central New York. Our cover story features RSM Medicine, a DeWitt practice on the move. Founding Partner Renée Melfi, MD, explains the RSM focus of taking the mystery out of spinal and musculoskeletal pain. The practice's approach leverages physician expertise to construct tailored treatment plans designed to fully realize the medical, spiritual and emotional needs of the patient. The local doctors who make up RSM are an impressive team: Dr. Melfi, Farah Siddiqui, MD, and Adrianne O'Quinn, MD. Dr. Melfi also plans on offering acupuncture and integrative medicine in her practice, under the moniker Renaissance Medicine — definitely a practice moving ahead. In this issue, we welcome the attorneys of Cohen Compagni Beckman Appler & Knoll to our editorial lineup. The attorneys will be presenting a column each issue about legal matters as they pertain to the physician and medical realms. The firm was formed in 2013 by the healthcare group that was recently named Tier 1 by U.S. News & World Report — the only Central New York practice group so rated. The firm's healthcare practice attorneys have a unique understanding of the practical business, regulatory, economic and political interactions particular to this industry. We look forward to the firm's contributions to our magazine. Once again, I would like to thank all those who come together to create our magazine. Here at MD News, we are dedicated to delivering an engaging reader experience, one with real local relevance. In each issue, we highlight distinguished and accomplished physicians and practice groups. We also provide updates on the latest medical studies, pointers for managing your practice and a unique look at what is happening in the local medical community. We love to receive nominations for our cover stories, current news within your organization and feedback about articles. I would also like to suggest that you visit www.mdnews.com to discover a wonderful resource for healthcare marketing. We are here to serve the physician and healthcare community.
