Today's Wound Clinic - Winter 2008 - (Page 6) introduction PUBLISHER’S MESSAGE: CONFIDENT IN OUR CONTENT s VP, Group Publisher/Wound Care, Podiatry and Dermatology Division of HMP Communications, I have had the pleasure of meeting many of you and learning about your individual needs and goals as wound care providers. After a very successful launch last year of Today’s Wound Clinic, our staff, Editorial Board, and advertisers are excited to offer four quarterly issues in 2008. Starting with this issue, TWC is moving to a paid subscription format. We are confident the content we have produced for this issue and the content we are planning for the future are worthy of the subscription price and can only result in a greater product for the readers. Everyone who works in a wound care clinic should invest in their careers by subscribing to TWC, most valuable tool on the market. According to Advanced Medical Technologies, an online source for medical information, current estimates put the total annual cases of chronic wounds at almost 9 million worldwide.An aging population of Americans is greatly contributing to this growth. Also, there are approximately 177 million cases of diabetes worldwide resulting in 10% to 15% of diabetic patients developing ulcers at some point. It is imperative for wound care professionals, at every level of the industry, to understand this growth, the causes behind it, and how to properly Jeremy Bowden handle it once it quickly becomes a reality. VP/Group Publisher This journal will offer you the complete package of key information, insight, and expert advice that can only advance your career in the wound care industry while giving your patients the best possible care. We have expanded our page count for this issue to an impressive 56 pages. We are aggressively gathering information on the wound care industry with four in depth online surveys this year and will be providing a concrete outlook of the industry to our paid subscribers. We also have revamped the TWC website so that in the future all of the information we provide to print subscribers also will be available exclusively for them online.
