FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Doylestown, PA - HealthCom Media (HCM) and the American Nurses Association (ANA) are pleased to announce the launch of American Nurse Today. Effective October 2006, "This partnership with HealthCom Media allows ANA to provide members with a publication that's fresh and innovative," said ANA President Barbara Blakeney, MS, RN. "Our members will receive a cutting-edge periodical every month as a benefit of membership, and ANA gains a partner that will help it reach the larger nursing community with important information about ANA's advocacy on behalf of the profession. American Nurse Today will address - in depth - the many business, practical, clinical, career management, policy and legislative issues that nurses need to keep up to date." "We're excited to be working with the staff of HealthCom Media," added ANA Chief Executive Officer Linda Stierle, MSN, RN, CNAA,BC. "They have a proven track record of partnering with organizations to produce high-quality publications through a business model that supports mission-driven organizations such as ANA. We believe that American Nurse Today is a win-win for members and the ANA." "We are thrilled to be working with one of the most important health care organizations in the country," says Greg Osborne, President of HealthCom Media. "The growing informational needs of nurses demand a comprehensive and innovative vehicle that truly voices the strong leadership of the organization. Nursing today is so much more than 'skill level,' and American Nurse Today not only will be the 'voice' of the ANA, but it also will provide information that nurses can assimilate into their busy careers immediately." ANA and HCM will work together to appoint the Editor-in-Chief and the editorial advisory board to shape a compelling editorial product that will appeal to ANA's members and attract both paid subscribers and advertisers. The journal will be distributed monthly starting in October 2006 to an audience of more than 150,000 members of the ANA as well as an additional 25,000 nurses in all practice settings.
