Family Doctor 2007 - (Page 5) foreword President’s foreword Dear Colleagues: I am delighted to present you with complimentary copies of the revised 2007 edition of AAFP’s health education publication, Family Doctor: Your Essential Guide to Health and Wellbeing. This colorful publication fills a need that many family physicians have expressed to the Academy — the need for health education material from the AAFP that could be used in the reception room. Please take a moment to browse through Family Doctor to appreciate its quality and the number and diversity of topics covered. Then, place the copies in your reception area for patients to read and enjoy while waiting for their appointments with you. If patients want additional copies to read at home, please direct them to the AAFP’s patient education web site, familydoctor.org, where soft-bound copies are available for purchase at a very reasonable $6.95 each (plus shipping and handling). Here’s to good health for you and your patients! Sincerely, “This colorful publication fills a need that many family physicians have expressed to the Academy.” Rick Kellerman, MD, FAAFP, 2006–2007 President, American Academy of Family Physicians Founded in 1947, the American Academy of Family Physicians represents nearly 94,000 physicians and medical students nationwide.
