Edward Howell marketing Director W Robyn Reynolds regional editor Kelly Casey e all love to share. Chances are, you’ve passed along a Vim & Vigor article to your spouse, sister or friend. (We know because many of you have told us so in reader surveys.) Sharing has always been part of human nature. But in today’s world of Twitter, Facebook and YouTube—and countless other social media outlets—sharing has taken on a whole new meaning. The Internet is a wonderful way to stay connected—even up to the minute—with distant friends and family. It’s also a great way to stay connected to UVA Health System. We have a lot to share. After all, there is a UVA expert on almost every imaginable health topic. We also have a team of great writers to bring you this expertise in a clear and concise format. Four times a year, it comes in the form of this award-winning magazine. But now you can hear from us, and share your thoughts with us, anytime through our blog (uvahealth.com/blog), Facebook page (facebook.com/uvahealth) and Twitter feed (twitter.com/uvahealthnews). It just takes a minute to like us or follow us. Vim & Vigor has also joined the digital world. We’ll still keep bringing you the printed version of the magazine, but now you can enjoy our e-zine at uvahealth.com/vigor. This makes it easy to share an article with anyone, anywhere (maybe even all 243 of your Facebook friends). To celebrate Vigor’s e-zine debut, we’re giving away an iPad to one lucky reader. See the postcard inside this issue for details on how to enter to win. You don’t need to be tech savvy to enjoy Vim & Vigor online; flip through the pages just as you do with the print version. And if you have (or win!) an iPad, the Vigor e-zine will be formatted for this popular device. Although we have lots of new ways to share information with you, we hope you’ll use our social media sites to send us your thoughts and questions. We want to hear from you about what topics you’d like us to cover in Vim & Vigor or on our blog, or maybe even how an article (or care at UVA) affected your life. Whether in print or online, our goal is to bring you expert advice that enhances your life—advice you’ll want to pass along to family and friends.
