+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ FROM THE PUBLISHER +++ +++ TT WIN CITES PHYSICIANS, The older I get, the faster time goes by. I remember the first issue of MD News being sent to you over fi ve years ago like it was yesterday. What a long way we have come in such a short period of time. With MD News now reaching over 10,000 physicians each month, we are sharing the quality of health care like never before. With one of the fastest growing medical sites in the area, we now connect to physicians, health care executives and patients instantly. Our new format and opportunities for local health care and medical organizations to be represented in MD News has opened up new ways to communicate and increase referrals. So thank you to all who have been a part of MD News and welcome to all new businesses and physicians that will be in future issues! This month we highlight the Minneapolis Heart Institute (MHI) at Abbot Northwestern and the new Valve Center that is being developed. When you get a collaborative group of physicians and specialist working together to improve health care, there is almost nothing that can't be achieved. Read more about the inspir- ing work and the quality of care being offered at MHI in this issues cover story. 2012 Planning! Don't forget to schedule time to talk about plans and programs for 2012! We are meeting with most local hospitals, clinics and health care organizations to share customized options for inclusion in MD News in 2012. Thanks for reading!
