Dear Friends:

Some things change. Some things stay the same...

As you know, Dr. Ace Allen has embarked on a new venture in healthcare. A true visionary and the founder of Telemedicine Today, Dr. Allen set the highest standard of excellence in the focus, relevance and content of this, the leading magazine in the field.

As the new publisher of Telemedicine Today, my goal is to continue the standards that Dr. Allen set.

That is why the first edition of the magazine under our ownership has taken longer to publish than we expected. We have used the extra time wisely, however -- re-evaluating and re-thinking how we can best serve our readers and advertisers. And in the coming months and issues, you'll see the results as we keep pace with this dynamic, fast-changing industry.

Now we are proud to re-launch Telemedicine Today with this year's edition of the Telemedicine Today Buyer's Guide, the industry's pre-eminent showcase for products and services. To include your company's products and services in this guide, please click here.

Also, I'm pleased to introduce Pam Weber, Telemedicine Today's new Associate Publisher. Many of you already know Pam from her extensive background in telemedicine. If you haven't met her yet, I know you'll find her to be a knowledgeable, creative "partner" for your business. Our job is to make sure that your advertising investment pays off with great returns, and Pam will be a key player in that game plan.

Pam and I are very excited to be bringing back Telemedicine Today as the leading publication focusing exclusively on distance healthcare. We look forward to working with you, and we'll always be available when you need us.

Give Pam or me a call any time to learn more about how Telemedicine Today can help your business grow.

Sincerely,

Scott Frager
Publisher and Editor
