Mid Hudson 05-852 ELLO, AND WELCOME to the latest issue of the industry magazine about, from and for physicians: MD News Mid Hudson. Medical technology continues to change at a rapid pace. There are few areas in the field of medicine that have not been affected by new technology. Innovative medical and surgical procedures, drugs, medical devices and support systems are everywhere. But where, specifically, are these novel treatments offered here in our region and how can your patients benefit? MD News harnesses powerful opportunities for physicians and business professionals to share their specific expertise with the local healthcare community. Our goal is to bring to life the skills and knowledge of local specialists through sophisticated content and photography, so that we not only deliver an engaging reader experience but serve as your source of information on what local peer physicians are undertaking. This information can have a direct impact on your practice and offer your patients immediate access to a world of rapidly changing medical technology. After all, that is one constant that remains in this field: physicians' desire to find better ways to treat their patients. It is difficult to overstate the importance of bariatric surgery in addressing the obesity epidemic and associated comorbidities. Weight loss can affect every aspect of patients' lives, so this month we spotlight the team of experts at Putnam Hospital Center. Here, surgery is only part of the process. The extensive support system provided through Health Quest's network assures that patients are not alone on their lifelong journey to better health. Here at MD News, we seek to include important information to serve the common interests of our medical community. Included in every issue is a glimpse of local events and happenings, found in our "People in the News" and "Local News" sections. We welcome a variety of submissions and encourage your feedback, ideas, questions or concerns. Next year's editorial calendar can be found on page five to assist with planning for editorial content in 2015. To share your expertise on our editorial topics, please contact me at 914-967-6565 or dansenkiw@mdnews.com to discuss articles for future issues. Your input keeps MD News Mid Hudson on the forefront of the region's healthcare conversation.
