Thursday, October 16, 2003 To: American Public Health Association (APHA) Members Subject: APHA and WebMD Launch New Public Health and Prevention Web Site Dear Colleagues, I wanted to be the first to inform you that APHA and WebMD Medscape are collaborating on a new and exciting Web venture. Today we will officially launch a new "Public Health and Prevention" Web site hosted by Medscape.com. We expect that this will be a tremendous opportunity to bring valuable resources and information to new audiences. Each month about a half a million health professionals come to the Medscape site for health care information and instruction. Medscape has more than 600,000 registered physician members and an even larger number of non-physician health professional members. At any one time, Medscape has about 200 separate CME/CE certified activities on the site. Medscape also has an online newsletter subscription program--with more than 2 million professional newsletter subscribers who receive over 10 million newsletters per month. The Medscape site consists of over 25 separate specialty home pages-- and we are proud to say that at long last, the new "Public Health and Prevention" site will be the 26th! We hope that you will join us in our excitement, and participate by signing up for the APHA/Medscape site. We welcome suggestions about information that might be useful to post on the new web page. You can access the Web site at: http://www.medscape.com/publichealthhome (Please note you will need to register before accessing the site).
