Dear S.A. HC+B Friends,
This issue marks a small but notable milestone for "The HCB Newsletter" as this issue marks the 50th issue. It's hard to believe that we've actually put out 50 newsletters already but there was never any doubt that content would be plentiful. I'd like to thank the many loyal readers and subscribers that keep on clicking us open week after week and for the many thoughtful and encouraging letters, suggestions, and comments. And...to the advertisers that in recognizing opportunity for business also make it possible for these publications to exist.
With that said and in keeping with the times along with listening to your requests to offer more engagement via two-way connections, S.A. HC+B Magazine readers can now connect with the members of the magazine and newsletter through LinkedIn and Twitter with Facebook coming soon. (See gold box on left column "Great News" for links).
Through these mediums, S.A. HC+B Magazine will continue to offer readers opportunities to stay in touch with the San Antonio healthcare & bioscience community and now to make live connections and to partake in/or initiate insightful discussions.
All my best,
Melba Romero
Publisher/Editor
