Plain-English Media announces the acquisition of Strategic Health Care Marketing and eHealthcare Strategy & Trends from Health Care Communications of Rye, NY. Plain-English Media is a privately held niche publisher based in Alameda, CA. The two newsletter titles form the core of a new division, Plain-English Health Care.

Strategic Health Care Marketing and eHealthcare Strategy & Trends have served health care marketers and digital strategists for more than 30 years under the expert direction of founder Michele von Dambrowski and her partner Mark Gothberg at Health Care Communications. Through in-depth case studies and analysis of cutting edge marketing and ehealth initiatives, the publications deliver practical insights on what health care organizations can do to increase customer satisfaction, improve patient care, boost service revenues, strengthen their brands, and lower costs.

“I extend to Mark and Michele my congratulations on the legacy they have built: publications that advance the marketing, communications, and business development initiatives critical to health care organizations’ success. I am both humbled and energized to take stewardship of publications with such strong content, expert industry contributors, and knowledgeable, loyal readership,” said President of Plain-English Media, Matt Humphrey. “Look for some new initiatives from us in the coming months as we build on this strong foundation.”

I’m so happy to be able to turn over my ‘children’ to someone who brings such enthusiasm to the worlds of marketing and journalism,” said Michele von Dambrowski, CEO of Health Care Communcations.
