+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + G G +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ FROM THE PUBLISHER +++ +++ REETINGS! WE'RE ON our way into the best time of year to live in San Antonio — spring! Of course, warmer weather brings more outdoor activities and, inevitably, more orthopaedic injuries. The Hand Institute at The San Antonio Orthopaedic Group (TSAOG), the subject of this month's cover story, is prepared with a team of board-certified, fellowship-trained physicians, as well as specialty trained therapists and experts. Patients are able to receive comprehensive care at the Hand Institute, including diagnostic imaging, outpatient surgery and therapy. Beginning on page 6, find out what the physicians at the Hand Institute are doing to continue TSAOG's long history of providing leading-edge orthopaedic care. In our legal column, Kathleen Quiroz and Cassia Ysaguirre provide details on the Texas Medicaid Demonstration Project and the potential for hospitals and physician practice groups to defray costs associated with serving Medicaid-eligible and uninsured individuals. Also in this issue, the Health Collaborative introduces a program titled "Young Minds Matter," which is aimed at identifying and helping children at risk for behavioral health problems.
