Editorial Profile Minnesota Health Care News is a bridge between the providers of health care and the consumers of health care. It is written by doctors and allied medical professionals. Each issue contains information about illness, prevention, health insurance, health care legislation, long-term care and many other health-care related topics. In conjunction with our editorial board, our goal is to Educate, Empower and Engage the consumer. Minnesota Health Care News contains the most current and unbiased information on new developments in health care delivery. New medications, new diagnostic equipment, tests and new treatment options are all covered on an ongoing basis. It is inherently clear that the content does not replace medical or professional advice. There is no other content ever published beside health care information, which presents an exceptional opportunity for anyone with a healthcare-oriented advertising or marketing message. We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of journalistic integrity and providing our readers with a useful and outstanding publication. Our editorial calendar is attached.
Minnesota Health Care News publishes 40,000 monthly copies and is distributed free of cost to health care consumers. It is available exclusively in places where health care is delivered: hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and long-term care facilities. Minnesota Health Care News is distributed throughout the seven-county metro region at over 550 locations. Minnesota Health Care News is also mailed free of charge to health care administrators, executives and leaders throughout the state. Members of the Minnesota Legislature receive complimentary subscriptions. Subscriptions are available for $36 a year.
Demographics The Minnesota Health Care Consumer Association (www.mnhcca.org) is an online community of Minnesota Health Care News readers who participate in consumer opinion surveys. Results of these surveys are published each month. There is no cost to join the association and it provides our readers the opportunity for their voices to be heard in health-care policy discussions. The association has been active for several years, and membership data, along with public data from the Minnesota Department of Health, allow us to present an accurate profile of our readers.

Minnesota Health Care News is a response to the need for independent dialogue between health care delivery and health care consumers. As our health care system becomes increasingly complex, the need to make informed decisions on a consumer level is vital while we address the difficult issues of balancing cost, quality and access. The best possibility of creating positive solutions to these problems is to actively involve the patient. The goal of Minnesota Health Care News is to provide a forum for this process and to educate, empower and engage the consumer. Produced by Minnesota Physician Publishing, Inc. (MPP), a respected leader and independent voice in health care, Minnesota Health Care News has no hidden agenda and no concern for maintaining market share or manipulating opinion. MPP currently produces Minnesota Physician (which reaches every doctor in the state), MedFax (serving clinic/ hospital administrators/executives), Employee Benefits Planner (for human resources decisionmakers) and the Minnesota Health Care Roundtable (a semiannual conference on policy issues). Minnesota Health Care News completes the circle of serving and covering all elements of health care delivery. It is a task for which MPP is uniquely qualified and to which it brings full commitment to legitimately meaningful, outstanding content. Minnesota Health Care News is available by subscription and is distributed free of charge exclusively in places where health care is delivered: hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and long-term care facilities. It is supported by subscriptions, sponsorships and advertising, and provides an ideal environment in which to target healthcare-conscious consumers with a wide variety of marketing messages. The foremost mission of Minnesota Health Care News is to contribute to the development of the best possible system for the delivery of health care.
