Melba RomeroDear S.A. HC+B Friends, 
 
Last week's turnout for the "Construction Issue" was a record turn out!  And "WELCOME" to the many new subscribers who signed on!  I would expect the same for the Sept./Oct. issue as that issue is being laid-out as we speak and looking to be another interesting read. But for now, please read on to learn more about the activities and contributions being made by some of the city's leading healthcare and life science organizations.
 
Also, if you're interested in being in-the-know on breaking national, and local, industry news then be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook! 
 
And if you want to be part of a growing community that shares news, information, best practices, and industry knowledge then I encourage you to visit/join the HCB LinkedIn group.
 
And last but not least, be sure to take the time to peruse through the July/August Construction issue for stories and profiles of some of the best healthcare designs in the country all built here in San Antonio, Texas!
 
Best,
Melba Romero
