Angie’s List Launches New Health e-Zine

Monthly publication will showcase member experiences, trends and issues

(Vocus) July 1, 2009 -- Angie’s List today launched a new e-zine that brings the national consumer organization’s 14-years of experience to bear on the health care industry.

Dubbed simply, Angie’s List Health, the monthly publication will help consumers track trends and issues, as well as offer glimpses of members’ experiences with doctors, dentists and other health care professionals.

“Our members’ interest in health care has continued to grow since we expanded into those categories last year,” said Angie’s List Founder Angie Hicks. “This new publication answers that demand for in-depth looks at the issues both patients and practitioners are facing.”

Among the issues tackled in the debut publication

Digital Docs; how electronic medical records are transforming health care

What I’m really thinking while holding that drill – insight from an Indianapolis dentist

Stem cell research – a San Diego researcher’s perspective on what’s next in this field

Excerpts from some of the more telling health care reports submitted to the List

In addition to being delivered to Angie’s List members’ inboxes, the publication will be accessible to everyone at http://magazine.angieslist.com .

“Our magazine team, every member a veteran journalist, has a well-earned reputation for bringing great consumer insights and information to our members, sometimes with humor and sometimes with a cutting new edge,” Hicks said. “It’s always an interesting read.”

Recent honors for the Angie’s List magazine have come this year from the Indiana Society of Professional Journalists, The Communicator Awards, Summit Creative Awards and the American Inhouse Design Awards. Coverage included immigration, green building and pet issues, safety concerns over CSST pipes and human interest.
