+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ FROM THE PUBLISHER +++ +++ W articles on local physicians and health care organizations in the Twin Cities metro area. W Sitting here in my office and reflecting back on all the physicians we have interacted with in the past along with the ones we have scheduled for 2012, I have to smile and feel fortunate to be involved in the world-class health care we have in the Twin Cities. This month we bring some exciting feature stories, including the HealthEast Joint Registry Program, The Patient Care Process at Midwest Spine Institute, corneal disease with Dr. Ralph Chu and imaging advances with Consulting Radiology Ltd. I want to thank all the contributing physicians and encourage you to connect with the featured companies on questions and referrals. We have had an amazing response to our new editorial programs that are now available to all hospitals, clinics, physician groups and businesses involved in the local health care community. If you are interested in being involved in future feature articles, give me a call. Here is a quick preview of what else MD News will be covering in the first half of 2012: April — Vein and Vascular May — OB/GYN and Women's Health June — Pain Management July — Technology Advances Update and Medical Devices August — Medical Space and Design September — Otolaryngologists I would like to thank all the advertisers as well as welcome St. Paul Radiology to MD News.
