‘Médico de Familia’ magazine launches.

The publishers of the new Spanish-language health magazine “Médico de Familia” announced the inaugural edition of the monthly publication.

The magazine, a joint production of the Interamerican College of Physicians and Surgeons (ICPS) and New York-based publishers Parlante, is written entirely by ICPS member physicians and is distributed to over 20,000 doctors’ offices in top Hispanic DMA’s.

Médico de Familia’ will give Spanish-speaking patients easy-to-understand information on health right in their doctors’ offices, when health and well-being is their foremost concern

“This is an extremely important publication,” said Dr. René F. Rodríguez, founder and president of ICPS, the nation’s largest and oldest Hispanic medical society. “ ‘Médico de Familia’ will give Spanish-speaking patients easy-to-understand information on health right in their doctors’ offices, when health and well-being is their foremost concern.”

“When the Interamerican College of Physicians and Surgeons first approached us about collaborating on this project, we were shocked to learn that a magazine that makes as much sense as ‘Médico de Familia’ wasn’t already on the market,” said Neil Porter, the magazine’s publisher. “This publication will become a medium through which U.S. Hispanics inform themselves about critical health issues affecting them and their families.”
