Dear Readers,

On behalf of the staff of Annals of Long-Term Care: Clinical Care and Aging, I would like to wish you and your families a New Year filled with good health, and to thank you for continually striving to provide optimum care for the ever growing population of older patients.

We also would like to thank all of those who contribute to making the Journal an authoritative source for the highest quality, peer-reviewed, evidence-based information to which the interdisciplinary team practicing in long-term care settings can turn each month: our dedicated Editorial Advisory Board; our authors; our peer reviewers; those who take the time to write deeply felt letters and heartfelt personal perspectives; and our readers who provide thoughtful feedback on content that can have a significant effect on day-to-day practice.

Your input is valuable to us, so please fill out our readership surveys or send your comments to mschulz@hmpcommunications.com. We look forward to continuing to make Annals of Long-Term Care: Clinical Care and Aging a premier publication in the field of long-term care medicine.

Very sincerely,

Gregg Warshaw, MD
Medical Editor
