Mayo Clinic EmbodyHealth Newsletter:
Editorial Policy

From the Mayo Clinic EmbodyHealth Medical Editor


Dr. Bauer photoIt's our goal each month to provide your people with the information and the motivation they need to make positive health changes. We do this by fulfilling our mission to publish timely, reliable, understandable, concise and actionable health-related information geared toward working-age adults and their families.

To ensure that the newsletter meets Mayo's high standards for accuracy, readability and a balanced perspective, all material in the publication is reviewed by our editorial board. In all cases, Mayo medical reviewers retain final editorial judgment regarding newsletter content.

To ensure the latest medical knowledge is reflected in our content, we rely on our dedicated Mayo Clinic EmbodyHealth medical advisors, which include physician and health care experts in a broad range of medical specialties, including mental health, diabetes, coronary artery disease, nutrition, fitness and more.

Our editiorial team uses multiple sources to prioritize topics for inclusion in our editorial lineup each month. First, we keep our fingers on the pulse of key health management priorities you face, what issues you and your population are dealing with, and what health trends need to be addressed. We also pay close attention to the results of our Mayo Clinic EmbodyHealth readership surveys to learn what's on our readers' minds, how they are using the newsletter and how to increase the value the newsletter provides.

And because we know unbiased information is key to building the trust of your people, Mayo Clinic EmbodyHealth newsletter does not accept advertising or endorse any company or product. When product names are mentioned, it is to help make the information practical for the reader. If more than one product is available within a given category, multiple products will be listed.

We see the positive results of this exacting approach to creating a health newsletter each year in our Reader Satisfaction & Impact Survey. This research consistently reveals that our readers use the newsletter to help them make healthy choices and become more confident health care consumers and use health care resources more appropriately.

I invite you to request a sample issue of Mayo Clinic EmbodyHealth newsletter and find out for yourself what Mayo quality means.
