The Challenge
After publishing the Leading Medicine magazine for over a decade with a previous vendor, Houston Methodist recognized a need for a comprehensive redesign and optimized production workflow.
The magazine, which spans multiple system hospital markets, needed a fresh new look along with:
- Consistent editorial standards
- Compelling localized narratives
- More efficient workflows across multiple hospital teams
The Approach
Stamats rose to the challenge, leading a full redesign of the publication in 2022. We continue to manage end-to-end magazine production for all seven hospital sites, from content planning to printer and mailing coordination.
Each issue includes original articles, photography, infographics, stunning visual design, and language translation support. Across three editions per year, the team manages the mailing lists, content planning, and printer coordination for the publication while guaranteeing timely delivery and exceptional editorial standards.
