+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ FROM THE PUBLISHER +++ +++ W W Jerod Norris P U B L I SHE R 4 | Greater Kansas MD NEWS n MDNEWS.COM E L COME TO T H E December issue of MD News Greater Kansas! Wow … earthquakes shaking Kansas?! Felt by many in Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri, what more do we need to remind us of the value of family, friends and community? Perhaps there is no better way to bring our attention to the things that matter most this holiday season. I hope this fi nds all of you doing well and enjoying the advantages we have here in Kansas. Here is an excerpt from this month's cover story: When mothers-to-be face challenging medical circumstances during their pregnancies, it is important to have the support of expert, high-risk OB care and the assistance of a well-equipped NICU and its superior staff. Via Christi's high-risk obstetrics services focus on helping women through chal- lenging pregnancies by providing the most advanced level of specialized medical care and services. Most recently, the Via Christi NewLife Center team was joined by Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist Michael Wolfe, M.D., who brings a new layer of support to the co-management of high-risk pregnancies. Join us for Dr. Wolfe's story and more inside! As we wrap up this year and look toward 2012, I want to thank you for making this publication a valued part of the Kansas health care community and look forward to the ways we can serve you in the New Year. As always, we want to thank you for supporting the contributors of this publication with your patronage. You make a difference and play a role in keeping it strong and thriving. Finally, I would like to wish everyone the very best this holiday season. (Can you believe 2011 is nearly over?!) Special thanks and warm wishes to those of you with family and friends in the military, who have sacrifi ced so much and whose absence is especially felt during the holidays. Thanks again for a great 2011 — see you in 2012!
