The Spanish-language health monthly newsletter "Médico de Familia" has launched its website Medico de familia.org.

The goal is to offer online users, the same unique health editorial that's delivered to over 20,000 Hispanic doctors' offices and waiting rooms, throughout the country.

These physicians also write many of the articles featured in the magazine, which features (...) an easy-to-understand Spanish, and is based on the physicians' experience in the frontline of community healthcare.

Beyond providing a digital outlet for the magazine's monthly content, the new interactive venue will allow the magazine's editorial staff to feature breaking news that affects the quality and scope of healthcare available to the Hispanic community.

The free site is a collaboration between Medico de Familia and Hispanic Digital Network. (...)

According to "Médico de Familia" Publisher Neil Porter, other features being developed include physician blogs, live Q&A chat with doctors, and a semimonthly e-newsletter. "We are also planning to post an English-language version of the site. Since our magazine is written for the entire family, we want to make it possible for everyone in the family, be they English or Spanish-speakers, to access this important health information." (...)

The website is pretty new, but looks promising.
