Parthenon Publishing Introduces Lifeforce for Hendersonville Medical Center

Parthenon Publishing Inc. designed and released the first issue of Hendersonville Medical Center's community newsletter, Lifeforce.

Lifeforce features interviews with physicians from the hospital, and is designed to give useful health advice for all ages.

Parthenon EVP Adele Rowan said, "Lifeforce is an example of our customized approach to health publications. This newsletter is not a boilerplate 'insert name here' publication. Rather, the articles and photos feature interviews with and photos of physicians at the hospital, demonstrating their expertise and Hendersonville's rich ties to the community it serves."

Hendersonville Medical Center is a division of the TriStar Medical Health System, operating 11 hospital facilities in areas of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. Parthenon will be working with Hendersonville Medical to create the custom-built, 23,000-circulation quarterly newsletter.
