HCA Chooses Parthenon for Today&Tomorrow

Parthenon Publishing has re-launched HCA's employee benefits newsletter, Today&Tomorrow. The bi-monthly publication keeps HCA employees updated with current information on benefits, as well as news on savings and retirement programs.

HCA relies on this 200,000-circulation newsletter to relay information on lifetime health care programs to employees of HCA-affiliated facilities. Parthenon EVP Adele Rowan says Parthenon Publishing Inc. is enthusiastic to be offering its custom media services to one of the largest hospital corporations in the nation.

"We're excited to be helping HCA provide consistent and reliable health information to its many employees," Rowan said. "We listen to feedback from readers to ensure that Today&Tomorrow contains interesting material and an engaging design."

Parthenon Publishing helps establish Today&Tomorrow as the preferred HCA employee source for finding useful, practical knowledge about lifetime health care programs.

Nashville-based Parthenon Publishing Inc. provides custom publishing services - the creation of magazines, newsletters and digital media - to foster stronger relationships between corporations and their customers.
