Dear S.A. HC+B Friends,
This past week marked the exciting introduction of the hard-copy printed version of the S.A. HC+B Magazine (copies are in the mail for subscribers). If you would like to receive your free issue of the magazine, just log onto www.hcbmagazine.com, click on the "Subscribe" tab and fill in your information. Also, if you would like multiple copies dropped off at your facility feel free to call me while copies are available.
 Subscription requests and interest in the magazine and newsletter have been phenomenal, this tells me that this community is avidly reading and learning of all the great things happening in this industry, and rightly so with all of the business going on along the national healthcare front, and it is my pleasure and honor to be able to provide the news and stories that makes it possible for all of you to "stay in the loop".
The Sept./Oct. issue is already coming together and promises to be an equally exciting read. Stay tuned for more news on what's to come.
P.S. There is still time to advertise your company's products and services in the Sept./Oct. issue. For more info. contact Melba Romero at 210-878-9978.
All my best,
Melba Romero
